 Love Your Neighbor” Love Your Neighbor is a happy fusion of folk comedy and scintillating, if not sophisticated, humor. Its characters are believable, lovable, and risible. Its situations, though dizzy as a Disney picture, are always probable, and in good taste both artistically and morally. Tessy Vashki, who loves her Iowa home town, is about to marry Ozzy Fredrick, Chicago glamour lad. The Vashki household buzzes with wedding preparations, a pair of vociferous twins, a tuba playing kid sister, and of all things, bees. The bees belong to Johnny Jones, ex-marine, who has moved next door while Tessy was away at college. A sector of his apiary swarms the Vashki chimney, and as Tessy is about to kiss her fiance, one of the bees stings her right on the lip. Indignant, Tessy telephones the ex-marine to give hime a piece of her mind. Johnny arrives to render first aid, and recalling a remedy used on him as a boy by his mother, he surprises Tessy by treating her bee sting with a kiss. Tessy and Johnny are hitting it off famously when Ozzy returns to find the ex-marine adminis - tering a second treatment by way of osculation. Discovering that Tessy, whom he has fallen for, is engaged, Johnny assists with the wedding rehearsal. Let them see what they're getting into before they get into it. is his strategy. He goes in quest of a minister, but returns without benefit of clergy. Not a minister at home. Well, they weren't home to me, explains Johnny. He merely asks at the door of each minister if there was anybody there who would like to subscribe to Esquire Magazine, and they told him no. The wedding is further complicated by the discovery that Ozzy's aunt is unscrupulously trying to force Johnny Jones out of business. Tessy, outraged at this unfair treatment of an ex-marine, is ready to interfere when Dixie, a honeysuckle from the Deep South, arrives asking for her Johnny. You wouldn't be his sister? Inquires Tessy anxiously. My goodness no, I'm his wife, says Dixie. At this, Tessy is a tempest. Johnny Jones will play her for a sucker, will he? All right, she'll marry Ozzy at once. They are at the I do stage in the ceremony, when Johnny, with a large, flappy beeman's hat and mask, jumps out of the fireplace yelling for everyone to run for cover—the bees are loose. The final round involves a boxing bout, the fire department, and the return of Dixie to dis- cover she has her Johnny Joneses mixed. In a kaleidoscopic finish that is the epitome of skilled play craft, Johnny gets Tessy, Ozzy gets one of the twins he's been sweet on all along, and the bees get smoked out, along with everyone else.
