That Way with Women is a 1947 American comedy film directed by Frederick de Cordova, written by Leo Townsend and Francis Swann, and starring Dane Clark, Martha Vickers, Sydney Greenstreet, Alan Hale, Sr., Craig Stevens and Barbara Brown. It was released by Warner Bros. on March 29, 1947.[1] [2]
The screenplay was adapted from the Saturday Evening Post story "Idle Hands", which was previously the basis for the films The Ruling Passion (1922) and The Millionaire (1931), both of which starred George Arliss in the role assumed by Greenstreet.[3]
James P. Alden, an automobile tycoon who's being pushed to retire, assumes the identity of family gardener Herman Brinker and, hoping to prove he's still vital, buys a corner gas station with Greg Wilson, who doesn't know his true identity. This complicates matter when he falls for Alden's daughter Marcia. Along the way, the two men also grapple with shakedown artists and numerous false arrests due to mistaken identity.
