Alexander Hall’s delightful “My Sister Eileen” (1942), which follows at 10 p.m., was also remade, as a 1955 musical. with Janet Leigh, Betty Garrett, Jack Lemmon and “Robert” Fosse. Which is not to be confused with “Wonderful Town,” the Broadway musical version of “My Sister Eileen” with a totally different score that, like the 1942 movie, originally starred Rosalind Russell. (I’ve seen a photo of someone identified as Robert Redford dancing as a chorus boy in a 1958 TV adaptation of the musical, also with Russell, but Redford denies it was him). All of them are based on stories that reporter Ruth McKenney published in The Post about her and her aspiring-actress sister Eileen (played by Jane Blair) sharing an apartment with wacky bohemian neighbors in Greenwich Village in the ’30s. The movie ends with a hilarious surprise appearance by a comedy team who were no strangers at Columbia. In real life, Eileen ended up marrying screenwriter-novelist Nathaniel West (“The Day of the Locust”) and they both died in a car crash in 1940. Aside from “My Sister Eileen,” Ruth McKenney’s chief contribution to American letters was getting a job at The Post for one of her former colleagues from the Toledo Blade. Earl Wilson was a gossip columnist at our paper for decades and he appeared as himself in several movies. The BW thinks he resembles me in “Beach Blanket Bingo” (1965).
