Byron P Great movie - I don't know why people haven't rated it higher. For me, it's a movie I could watch over and over again. Character development has very good interaction and the little girl is a big bonus for comedic moments. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/23 Full Review Frances H Love "Cuddles." he was one of the most lovable character actors in old Hollywood's Golden Age. The whole cast does well in this cute comedy, with Erol Flynn all handsome and charming, the little girl extremely cute, and Forrest Tucker perfect for his role. . I don't understand why other audience scores aren't higher than this. It was totally enjoyable! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/20 Full Review Audience Member Rock Hudson plays a military doctor who falls in love with nightclub pianist, Cornell Borchers. They marry and have a baby and all seems right. That is, until Hudson's seething jealousy wrecks everything that they had established. Tragedy tears the couple apart and Hudson must raise their daughter alone. Years later, fate brings the couple back together and their daughter (played surprisingly well by a young Shelley Fabares)must come to grips with the mother she had never known. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review panayiota k It was cute at first but then Phil was acting like a dick and there were too many misunderstandings in the story. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Flynn seems out of place or miscast here Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute comedy with Errol having fun for a change and well paired with Eleanor Parker. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
