Betty Hutton stars in “The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek” as Trudy Kockenlocker, a young small-town girl. As the film opens, Trudy is extremely excited about an upcoming party to send off the local men to fight in WWII. She schemes to attend the party, despite being forbid by her overprotective father (the brilliant William Demarest). As the night goes on, the party gets more and more wild, ending in Betty unexpectedly married and pregnant. The only problem is that she cannot remember getting married or to whom. To solve her dilemma, she resolves to get married to a local boy, the inept and frightened Norval Jones, played by Eddie Bracken. The situation spins completely out of control from here.

“The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek” was written and directed by the peerless Preston Sturges. The film is on par with his greatest, such as “Hail the Conquering Hero.” Bracken would go on to star “Hail” as well, but his performance here is arguably his best. Playing the nerdy Norvel who “sees spots” when he gets nervous, Bracken is perfect. Betty Hutton also would never have a better role; unfortunately, she really never attained the status she deserved.
The film’s humor is rather zesty, and the pregnancy plot is handled in a relative frank manner, making for a bit of a surprise for a 1940s movie. The script manages to be touching as well as funny, eliciting some genuine laughs. In particular, Diana Lynn steals the show as Hutton’s precocious teen sister, Emmy. The chemistry between Emmy and her father is fantastic. The film deservedly received an Oscar nomination for Best Writing (Original Screenplay), losing to “Wilson.”

Despite its quality, “Miracle” is definitely not as well known as other Sturges classics. However, it stands up against the greatest comedies of this period; accordingly it was added to the US Film Registry in 2001. Highly recommended for fans of 1940s comedy as well as Preston Sturges devotees. Hopefully the film will be released on DVD soon, or else it may continue to be unjustifiably overlooked.
I’m normally not one to laugh out loud very much, but with THE MIRACLE OF MORGAN’S CREEK I couldn’t help myself. I laughed so hard that not once but twice I had tears streaming down my face.
Norval Jones who’s 4-F due to “the spots” is tragically in love with Trudy Kockenlocker. She knows of his love, but is more interested in the poor boys going off to war. One night after using Norval as a cover to get out of the house she goes partying with some soldiers, drinks too much spiked lemonade, bumps her head on a disco ball and ends up married to some guy she can’t remember except that she thinks his name was Ratzkywatzky. She’s also pregnant.
Broken hearted she tells Norval and after a screaming fit he agrees to help her. Hilarity and some of the craziest knee-shaking you’ve ever seen ensue.
Why is this movie not out on DVD? Or even better yet a Preston Sturges box set!
