Corby Lane (Jean Simmons) is an heiress with a heart as big as her bank account. In her youth, the small town of Progress, Ark., banded together to fund a crucial medical operation for Corby. As an adult, she now wants to thank them by awarding the residents an enormous anonymous check. Local doctor Robert Sellers (Robert Mitchum) tries to convince Corby that flooding the town with cash isn't the best method of gratitude. But, as they argue, he learns even he cannot withstand her charms.

isla s I thought this was an easy and pleasant watch with some nice characters, including a somewhat naive young boy referred to as 'Digger'. Its mildly intriguing and I liked that Corby (the main female character) can somewhat stand up for herself. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Pleasant diversion but Robert Mitchum was always unable to play anything other than Robert Mitchum. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member prolific director ended his directorial career with this light weight comedy Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member When the opening credits promise a Howard Hughes production, you know you're in for something rather odd. Eccentric small-town comedy that never really takes off, however I did like Arthur Hunnicutt's scene-stealing turn as the town drunk... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Low-profile story of an unknown benefactor in a small town which never gets exciting - neither Mitchum or Simmons light up the screen either. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member great cast in this RKO comedy/western Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
