Why settling into bed last night I found this movie on PBS Atlanta. I love watching old movies and I thought I would give this one a try. Cary Grant creates an enjoyable performance in this film based on a play.This movie was neither great nor terrible. The portions that were entertaining and interesting were the Shunderson storyline where we find out what had happened in the past and the friendship of Noah and the other professor (can't think of his name, but he was the overweight teacher with curly hair). I thought they did a great job of portraying good friends and the acting was superb. I didn't care for the whole morality lesson because it was extremely one-sided. She was a coward. I didn't like her character at all. I mean, the people being praised in this movie were a girl who becomes pregnant by someone she barely knows, and then tries to kill herself when she finds out. What a coward! Her dad is someone completely living off of his brother and then living off of her husband once she gets married. Ever heard of getting a job? My favorite character was Cary Grant's friend...the other professor. He was funny and open about who he was. It was like they were saying to be open-minded and be who you are...but, at the same time they were hiding the truth about themselves. Anyway, that is just my take on it. I will give it a 3.5 out of 5 because it was done well...I just didn't care for most of the ideas. It tells people that you can do anything you want and it will turn out ok for you in the end. She ends up all happily married after just trying to kill herself. Not reality...but, who watches a movie for reality? There's enough reality in real life
