      Mike F I was pleasantly surprised when I recognized Bracken in this picture 45 years before his role as Mr. Duncan in Home Alone 2. I thought he was terrific and very much enjoyed his portrayal of a poor man that teams up with a similarly situated woman and pretend that they are wealthy socialites.
