Martha Raye plays twins.  Of course one is interested in Abbott and the other in Costello.

I loved The Little Foxes.  Lillian Hellmann wrote.  Bette Davis at her most appallingly amoral.

From IMDb:

Jerry Marvin (Melvyn Douglas), a talented musician and composer, wallows in drunken self-pity after he is divorced by his wife Babe (Ellen Drew). Along comes new love Susan (Ruth Hussey), who rescues Jerry and provides him with fresh inspiration to complete his trumpet concerto. He performs it, it's a hit, and the jubilant Jerry and Susan plan to marry. There's just one hitch: Now Babe wants him back... and the unscrupulous ex-wife will stop at nothing to recapture her man.

(*Yawn*) From IMDb: Edgar (Edgar Kennedy) decides the 4th of July fireworks celebration in town is too much for his nerves, and he and his wife Sally (Sally Payne) and her brother (Jack Rice) will take a nice drive out into the countryside and have a nice, peaceful picnic. His first mistake is inviting the sons of his neighbor (Charlie Hall) to go with them, and his second is picking an Army artillery firing range as the location of the picnic. Betty Grable, despite reports to the contrary from some vastly-uninformed sources, is nowhere to be seen in this short...mainly, because she was top-billed above the title in 20th Century-Fox musicals in 1941, and wasn't moonlighting in bits in RKO short subjects that year, or any that followed
