Contents

Plot

Helen Mason is slowly revealed to be an alcoholic, destroying her career as a concert pianist and her family in the process. [1]

Production

The film's story author and producer was Kroger Babb, who worked primarily on films about fringe subjects, such as the anti-drug film She Shoulda Said No (1949) and a film about the life of Jesus Christ titled The Lawton Story (1949). [3]

Production began in August 1950. [2]

Release

One Too Many had its world premiere on January 1, 1951 at the Murphy Theatre in Wilmington, Ohio. [4] Later that year, producer Kroger Babb changed the title from One Too Many to The Best Is Yet to Come, as the film had failed to attract a significant audience. [2] The film was rereleased in 1955 under the title of Mixed-Up Women. [2]
