[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - Quoting from IMDB.com: "Living in Cape Anne, Maine, widowed Jane Osgood is trying to support her family of two young children by starting a lobster mail order business. Things for her business start off badly when a shipment perishes due to the operation of the Eastern & Portland Railroad, newly acquired by penny-pinching Harry Foster Malone. When the E&P fails to compensate Jane adequately for their error, Jane gets into a David versus Goliath battle with the powerful Malone, who she deems the meanest man in the world. The story affects all the townsfolk and reaches a national audience, Jane having both supporters and detractors. But both Jane and Malone will do whatever they can to beat the other, both who see the fight as a matter of principle. Meanwhile, New York based reporter Larry Hall, in Cape Anne to cover the story, falls for Jane. This move does not sit well with George Denham, who is Jane's childhood friend, lawyer and wannabe suitor." Originally released July 14, 1959 under the title "It Happened to Jane", this Kovacs vehicle again paired Ernie with his best friend Jack Lemmon. It was the third and final consecutive movie that was directed by Richard Quine which also co-starred Ernie Kovacs. The film starred "America's sweatheart" Doris Day. Also featured was actor Steve Forest, who in reality is the brother of the late actor Dana Andrews. Kovacs' character of Harry Foster Malone was a thinly veiled immitation of Orson <b>...</b>
