Frank Morgan saves this formula-driven MGM comedy with an attempt at being Capraesque. His excessive sermonizing does not work well in this film, and the attempt by the director to imitate Capra fails. This B movie is, however, entertaining, and the predictable plot is overlooked with good-natured patience. It was a time that will never return to the US; and an innocence that no longer exists. Fun to watch.
