One Too Many is a 1951 film produced by Kroger Babb, directed by Erle C. Kenton and starring Ruth Warrick.
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]
