The Amazing Mrs. Holliday Overview:
The Amazing Mrs. Holliday (1943) was a Comedy - Drama Film directed by Bruce Manning and Jean Renoir (uncredited) and produced by Bruce Manning.
SYNOPSIS
French auteur Renoir began directing this pleasantly comic international production, but it was completed by the producer Manning. The lovely Durbin plays good-hearted missionary Ruth Kirke. In order to save the lives of Chinese orphans, Ruth is forced to impersonate the wife of unmarried ocean-going millionaire Commodore Holliday, who's been conveniently lost at sea. Returning to America, she brings the Chinese children to the Holliday mansion. She's too honest to keep up the lie for long but finds an understanding friend in the Commodore's grandson Tom (O'Brien). The film includes two songs by Durbin in Chinese.
