Product Description
Look who's rubbing elbows with the New York upper crust. It's sometime showgirl and carny sideshow attraction Maisie Ravier (Ann Sothern, playing the brassy screen heroine for the fourth time), earning her daily bread as a maid at the posh Rawlston estate on Long Island. There, she finds that the Rawlston patriarch is a neglectful and absentee parent, the fragile daughter (Maureen O'Sullivan) is engaged to a fortune hunter, and the son (Lew Ayres) is an indulgent layabout (but he is kind of handsome). Maisie may be out of her milieu at the Rawlston manor, but she is in her element when it comes to confronting the shams, pretensions and wrongs she finds there. C. Aubrey Smith joins the fun as the ever-dutiful Rawlston butler. Later during the same year of Maisie Was a Lady's release, Sothern, O'Sullivan and Ayres reunited for a radio version.

The rest of the series is not great... with ridiculous plot lines and poor dialogue. ("Maisie Goes To Reno" and Congo Maisie are awful). If you interested in the Maisie series and have never seen them, I would suggest watching "Maisie Gets Her Man" first to see what the character is all about... though may find Red Skelton a bit over the top...then "Maisie Was A Lady" second. Overall, these two movies and the Ann Sothern movie "Panama Hattie" are lighthearted fun with Patriotic WW 2 salutes.
Awesome stress releaser ~ good clean entertainment~ ! they don't make movies like this anymore
She does get that work with a term contract. During the time she works in the mansion, she is able to observe the daughter in the family (played by a young Maureen O'Sullivan, who was Mia Farrow's mother in real life) go through some experiences that lead to tragedy. Maisie is the only person who confronts the family to tell them 'what's what' and helps to throw a lifeline to the suffering daughter.
When she does this, it was apparent to me that times have changed. Today, the family would be considered 'modern' and 'enlightened.' They don't want to interfere. They think a person can figure things out for themselves. Maisie, outspoken to a fault when she is the least bit interested in an outcome, tells them off in no uncertain terms. This scene, for me, made the movie a standout of the Maisie genre. It dates the movie to a time when being politically correct was not the most important thing you had to be. It's refreshing, of course, because it is a throwback to an earlier time.
Another reason I like this film is that it shows a person confronted and shocked out of an unhealthy habit - in this case, alcoholism, which can rightly be called a disease, not a habit. There is a person in the household who has known the alcoholic his entire life, seen his downward spiral as it started and as it persisted, and still recognizes that there is a good person there. If only that good person had a good chance to come back into being! With Maisie, new in town (so to speak), there is that jolt that at least helps get the dipsomaniac on the road back to sobriety. Not only is there a second chance, but the character proves to be lovable.
So many good things coming from Maisie. She's a little too good. Without falling into a puddle of saccharine sweetness, what saves the character is a dose of salt. Salt of the earth, she is.
