    Where to Watch

The son (Donald O'Connor) of a musical-comedy star (Donald Cook) causes hard feelings when he beats dad out of a role. Frances Dee, Peggy Ryan, Eve Arden, Thomas Gomez, Gavin Muir. Entertaining diversion; good clean fun. Frank Ryan directed.

O'Connor is the son of actor Cook, and family problems arise when O'Connor gets a part in a Broadway play that the father was bidding for. They squabble as they vacation at a mountain lodge but find time for Ryan and Dee. Cook forgets about his lost role when Dee agrees to marry him. Songs include "Song of Love," "For the First Time," "Don't Move," "Ask Madam Zan," "The Cubacha," and "When You Bump into Someone You Know" (Charles Tobias, David Kapp, Sidney Miller, Inez James, Charles Previn).
