From My Life

My Sister Eileen is a 1955 American musical comedy film directed by Richard Quine and starring Janet Leigh, Jack Lemmon, and Betty Garrett. The screenplay by Quine and Blake Edwards is based on the 1940 play by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov, which was inspired by a series of autobiographical short stories by Ruth McKenney originally published in The New Yorker. The play originally was filmed in 1942. (This musical film is totally different from the 1953 Broadway musical Wonderful Town, though both are based on the original Ruth McKenney source material.)
