Coming to TCM June 6, 2009 at 7:45 am
The 1936 version of this same story called These Three will be on Turner Classic Movies this Saturday. Set your DVRs and TiVo's! It's directed by the same director too! This earlier version is a little bit different becuase of the highly restrictive Production Code in place at the time then but well worth watching.
Here's the link to the IMDB page on the film:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028356/
Here's the link to the Wikipedia article on that version of the film:

And finally a link to the wikipedia article on the play itself:

Good reading for anyone interested in the play or films!
Don't forget to tape These Three!
