Charles J. Pendergast - That toupee!


I think a very funny performance was turned in by Richard Gaines as Jean Arthur's priggish fiance, Charles J. Pendergast. Even though he doesn't get much screen time and was generally overshadowed by the great performances turned in by the three principal actors, he made me laugh - especially during his date when he gets sidetracked by the conniving Charles Coburn. And that toupee!

But the toupee never paid off. I expected it to be whisked off to reveal a bald head at some point.
