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.

Audience Member 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". Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Harmless drivel. Attractive cast. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/02/21 Full Review Audience Member gr8 all star cast makes this 1 go Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
