DEAR RUTH:   # 1 The First IN the Series

Dear Ruth, 1947 A normal day in the Wilkins family: reticent beauty Ruth, the crusty judge father (Arnold), the petition-happy political activist teen (Freeman) Miriam. Who should show up but Ruth's soldier pen pal Bill Seacroft... It seems Miriam used her sister Ruth's name and picture to help build up wartime morale. Caught in a mess, Ruth (Caulfield) reluctantly agrees to "humor" Bill for his 2-day leave, even though she's just become engaged to her stuffy suitor Albert.   Fired up by patriotism, Miriam inaugurates a warm pen-pal relationship with an overseas air force officer (William Holden), hinting at a future marriage. When the airman arrives in town, he insists upon seeing Miriam's older sister Ruth (Joan Caulfield). It seems that Miriam, in an effort to appear older, signed her letters with her sister's name, and even enclosed her sister's picture. Ruth, however, is engaged to her nerdish employer (Billy DeWolfe), and it isn't hard to imagine the plot convolutions that ensue from this set-up. Dear Ruth was written by Norman Krasna, who based the Watkins household on the family of his old friend Groucho Marx (whose first wife's name was Ruth).

_{Excellent QUALITY.}

Dear Wife #2  Second in the Series

1949 sequal to Dear Ruth has teenaged Miriam starting a political campaign to nominate Bill Seacroft, her brother-in-law, for state senator in opposition to the local political machine.  William Holden and Joan Caulfield portrays a young married couple with some definite in-law problems. When Caulfield's younger sister gets Holden to run for the State senate, a whole new kettle of worms is opened--his opponent is his Father-in-law. In spite of former suitors trying to break up their relationship and the obvious stress caused by the campaign, everything works out Hollywood-style. This was followed by a sequel for the younger sister, entitled Dear Brat.   The only one to have ever been released to vhs format. 

Good quality , some grain on this one.

# 3 Dear Brat 3rd and Final in the Series

Third and last in the "Dear" Series, following Dear Wife And Dear Ruth.  Dear Brat was the second sequel to the 1947 comedy hit Dear Ruth (the first sequel was Dear Wife).  Mona Freeman is back again as Miriam Watkins, still minding everyone's business but her own. This time around, Miriam "adopts" a criminal (Lyle Bettger) who claims he wants to go straight. The crook's presence does not sit well with Miriam's politician father (Edward Arnold), nor does it appear that the "lost sheep" has any real intention of reforming. Thanks to Miriam's influence, however, the criminal ends up being as good as his word.

GOOD QUALITY ON THIS ONE .
