Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

bkoganbing Love Nest concerns the struggles of a young couple to keep the brownstone they own in shape and their tenants happy. June Haver bought the building as an investment with what was probably William Lundigan's separation pay. They've got an interesting group of tenants among them Frank Fay a gentleman of leisure who doesn't work but seems to be well fixed. That's because he's a conman who fleeces little old ladies, but he's actually fallen for Leatrice Joy of the silent screen era who is also a tenant.Another tenant is Marilyn Monroe who knew Lundigan in the service when she was a WAC. June Haver notices, but Jack Paar a lawyer friend of their's also notices Marilyn.Love Nest is a slight amusing comedy. But the thing that gets me is that for all their troubles that Brownstone in NYC especially Manhattan is probably worth a small fortune for the grandchildren of Lundigan and Haver. Hope they hung on to it.

pillowmaker25 Love Nest is a funny witty movie....the actors are great in this film. I love the role that June Haver, and William Lundigan Play their part really good. Its very interesting to see how they will sell the building that they are living in. Its great family movie, even though its a classic and the story is back in 1951, its till fits in the times of today society. Expenses, and price increases. great show...it should always be shown. I love it, and I am thinking of ordering me a copy. Thank you for letting me share my view on this lovely funny and witty movie.In this movie, it shows you how to survive and how people had done things to make life easy for them. Today, they should have more movies like this on TV instead of the violence. Great movie.

TxMike I found this one on the "Movies!" channel, released in 1951, in glorious black and white, but set in immediate post-WW2 1946. This is primarily a romantic comedy with 1950s sensibilities.June Haver is Connie Scott, her husband has been gone for 2 1/2 years, fighting in WW2. Her husband is William Lundigan as Jim Scott. He has been sending money home as he is able, she has been saving it, so they could start their "love nest" when the war ended.Jim comes home a few days early to surprise Connie, but the surprise is on him. She used the money as a down payment to buy a multi-floor house in the city, they would live in one section and rent out the other units. The income from the rentals would pay for their mortgage, and Jim could settle in to his writing career.The problem turns out the building was not in very good shape, inspectors required the electrical wiring to be redone, the building shook every time the fire truck passed in the street, and the tenants had ongoing plumbing problems that needed to be addressed. Plus, it turns out the "good deal" Connie got was about $5000 more than it was worth, and that was a big sum in 1946.A colorful side story is added by Frank Fay as Charley Patterson, one of the new tenants. Charlie is quite the charmer, but as his whole story unfolds he is wanted by the FBI as a bigamist who cheats gullible old widows out of their money.In a minor, but important, supporting role just a few years before her big movies, Marilyn Monroe is Bobbie Stevens, a WAC that fought with Jim overseas. She returns to the city and needs a place to rent. Her being a tenant creates some jealousy, but also offers a romantic interest for Jack Paar as Ed Forbes, a friend of Jim's.Overall a very pleasant, enjoyable movie.SPOILERS: The law finally catches up with Charlie right after he marries one of the nice ladies who also is a tenant. But Charlie says he is reformed, he is now a one-woman man, and serves 18 months in jail, but also collaborates with Jim as the author, they write a best-selling book of Charlie's adventures, splitting the profits, which gives Jim and Connie the cash to make their place into the love nest they wanted.

Peter Whittle A convivial 'feel-good ,optimistic' film.'Love Nest' makes you wish you could book-in to that brownstone building c.1951 for some immediate soul revival.Incongruously;the soundtrack contains humming acappella harmonising that confirms to you;it's 'a cinematic treat'.It's 1946:June Haver has invested every last dime in a New York apartment block,hubby William Lundigan returns to a mayhem of repair bills & squabbling tenants.Marilyn Monroe;his ex-army buddy infuriates his jealous wife & Frank Fay is a 'Gentleman Lothario con-man' operating from his apartment rooms.The incidental characters are impressionable.It's a recap of 'old style' values;whence one time.Utterly nostalgic.A DVD I can watch again & again.I can't decide if this is a 'June Haver' star vehicle or a 'Marilyn Monroe' star vehicle?.Hence:two for the price of one!.
