Doris Day was nearing her popular zenith, and Jack Lemmon just hitting his stride, when they teamed up for It Happened to Jane, a small-town comedy in the Capra vein. Doris is a widowed mom whose Maine lobster business is snarled by railroad tycoon Ernie Kovacs (hiding behind a skullcap and a huge cigar), the "meanest man in America." Her lawsuit against him, aided by lawyer-suitor Lemmon, gains national headlines. This is a curious movie: crucial scenes seem to have been left unwritten, while sequences involving Cub Scouts and an oddly impassioned Town Hall Meeting go on endlessly. Director Richard Quine was making some fun movies around this time (Bell, Book, and Candle), but the fizz is only intermittent here, mostly provided by Lemmon's jack-in-the-box youthfulness. Doris sings a couple of tunes and brings her downhome tomboy routine to New York City, where the movie employs some of the quaint TV personalities of the day. --Robert Horton

Customer Reviews of It Happened to Jane
A real pleasure How nice to sit down with your family and watch a well shot, well acted film with, dare I say it, a straight-forward unapologetically wholesome narrative tale extolling various virtues in its characters. The New England scenary is stunning, Jack Lemmon is great and Doris Day is at her best in a role well suited for her talents. Ernie Kovacs is wonderful as the cigar chewing railroad tycoon. The greatest compliment I can pay this film is to paraphrase a line from the movie "It must have been great to grow up here".
It Happened To Jane
I ran this movie many years ago (occupation-projectionist) and the DVD is excellent. Fine sound and picture quality plus a great cast. As a train lover, I found this great.
It Happened To Jane
It was a very uplifting movie about overcoming injustice. Enjoyed the relationship between Doris Day and Jack Lemon.
