The Matchmaker

In this early adaptation of Thornton Wilder's hit Broadway play, we meet matchmaker Dolly Levi (Shirley Booth), who is always good at arranging things primarily matrimonial and has now set her sights on the domestic affairs of one Mr. Vandergelder (Paul Ford), a cold-hearted local store owner. The difference this time, however, is that she plans to be the one to marry him!

Synopsis: A matchmaker tries to find a wife for an out-of-practice old widower but is soon attracted to him herself. A young couple also finds love in this adaptation of a Thornton Wilder play, later the musical "Hello Dolly."
