a darling little movie. Pair this in a double bill with The Women (1939) and it would serve as a nice little appetizer for that main course.

This is by far one of Lucille Balls best performances. It showed a different more role of drama not known of Ball. If she had wanted to continue in Drama she surely would of done well. She was also very Beautiful. I loved the movie and would of liked to seen a sequel.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
