This is “Holy Matrimony,” a rather silly movie with one of those preposterous plots in which logic is thrown out the window, but watchable because of the performances, especially if you only know Monty Woolley from “The Man Who Came to Dinner.” Eric Blore is wonderful as always, although he gets killed off early in the film. I was surprised that nobody pegged Gracie Fields. And look how young Whit Bissell was. This is his second film.
And for Tuesday, we have a mystery chap at the pipe organ.
Here’s a better look at our mystery chap, though it may not help:
And here is our mystery woman for Wednesday….
And for Thursday we have a very young Oh Him and the famous Oh Her.
For Friday, our mystery chap has…. No wait, that’s the wrong movie. (Laird Cregar in “The Lodger,” his next to last film.)
For Friday, our mystery chap has… No, no, no. Can’t you see that’s in color? (Laird Cregar in “Heaven Can Wait.”)
Ah. That’s better.
For Friday, our mystery chap has a beard of the Van Dyke persuasion.
And because this was a short week, here’s a bit more facial hair from our mystery film:
Oh Them.
Please congratulate Bob Hansen (Thursday’s Oh Him and Oh Her), Mary Mallory (mystery movie and cast), Dewey Webb (mystery movie and cast), Julie Merholz (mystery movie and cast), Sarah (mystery movie and cast), Don Danard (Thursday’s Oh Him), Chrisbo (Thursday’s Oh Him and Oh Her), Jenny M (mystery movie and cast), Rick (Oh Him), LC (mystery movie and cast), Megan Lee Ann and Thom (mystery movie and cast), Barbara Klein (mystery movie and cast) and David Inman (Oh Him, Oh Her, wrong movie)
Don’t have a clue!

Thanks to the Thursday mystery group, I finally think I’ve guessed which film it was. Holy Matrimony, 1943. With Una O’Connor and Whit Bissell. I’m just waiting for you to show Monty Woolley!
