Mother in Law? That a clue?
Hmmm... let's see...
Is there a Mother in law in it?
Does someone go crazy in it?
Is it also a musical as well as a kind-of comedy?
Was it directed by a well-known, household name kind of a director?
Is it a dessert topping and a floor wax?
What do you really think of your mother in Law?

| LMAO ... Chris, I was thinking the same thing, well except for the floor wax/desert topping. 
My question, err, questions ... Is it a horror as well?
Was it made by MGM?

Did the director ever win an Oscar for best director?
If so, did he or she win more than one Oscar for best director?

To sum up: a movie in English, in color, not animated, made between 1945 and 1959 in the U.S. The lead is male, and the director is (or was) well-known. It's a comedy of sorts, not a musical, and not (really) a horror. It got no Oscar nominations, and was not made by MGM.
Is the director still alive?

Would it be categorized as a Comedy first or is it more of say a Romance, or Mystery than a comedy?
Was it made after 1954?
Is it available on DVD?
Does your Mother in Law like it?

Made after 1954? yes
Does your MIL like it? don't know that my MIL has even seen it, much less likes it
Would it be categorized as a Comedy first or is it more of say a Romance, or Mystery than a comedy? comedy first, mystery/romance second
Available on DVD? yes

Happy anniversary!
Did the male star ever win an Oscar? (I mean the star of the movie, not the man in your marriage.) |

Hmmm..
Well I would have said 1958's Indiscreet since you said the director didn't win a Best Director he could have still won (as Donen did)) an honorary 1998 Oscar... but he's still alive.
Bell Book and Candle might have worked out, but Richard Quine is hardly a household name
and
Pillow Talk is a stretch plus director Michael Gordon is not very well known.
So how about
The Trouble with Harry (1955) Hitchcock's dark mystery/comedy. Hitch never won an Oscar for directing believe it or not. He did win a Thalberg later on.

The Trouble With Harry
is the correct answer. My grandmother spent the last 2 months of her life watching this movie AT LEAST 2 times a day. She died on 5/1, and this movie has been in my head ever since. I knew you guys would get it!!!! |

Congratulations Chris. I thought this might be a Hitchcock but I wasn't sure which one. Your turn to lead us on the next chase.
