A tenant gives her high-strung landlord a new lease on life in this sparkling romantic comedy starring Academy Award® winners* David Niven, Jane Wyman and Broderick Crawford. When his business manager buys Eric Phillips (Niven) an apartment house as an investment, the uptight concert pianist reluctantly agrees to inspect it. His snooty manner soon changes when he meets tenant Polly Haines (Wyman), a perky photographer’s model who decides to show the long-sheltered performer there’s more to life than just music. Costarring Victor Moore (Swing Time), A Kiss in the Dark also features a host of cult favorites including Wayne Morris (the last B-Western hero), Phyllis Coates (Adventures of Superman’s first Lois Lane), Jimmie Dodd (The Mickey Mouse Club’s head Mousketeer) and The Wolf Man’s Maria Ouspenskaya in her final screen appearance.
