Eric (David Niven) is a successful but high-strung pianist. His managers have forced him to focus all his attention on practicing and touring, and as a result he has few personal relationships. All this changes when he suddenly becomes the proprietor of a crumbling tenement in which he had previously invested. Eric decides to take a break from the road, move into the building and rub elbows with the wacky renters. And one beautiful leaser, Polly (Jane Wyman), helps bring him out of his shell.

01/05/2022 A little piece of amusing fluff that seemed to be the comedic norm in the Forties. The cast is likeable and Jane Wyman has a great pair of gams to be sure. Niven as the stuffy concert pianist who's ownership of an apartment house full of odd characters final transforms him into becoming like the rest of us "normies". See more 03/02/2021 Harmless drivel. Attractive cast. See more 10/10/2015 gr8 all star cast makes this 1 go See more Read all reviews
