      Steve D Not among her best but still cute. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a Hallmark-type movie, but anything with Deanna is worth seeing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Romantically cute and very slickly done. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting film that's similar in tone to Borzage's Depression era work. Thematically, though, it's really rather dull. Franchot Tone is wonderful as always. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the not so good films. Not horrible, but contrived. I like most of the others better.
