Going from a rank amateur to the top ranks of any sport should be enough to make a good story and movie. I don't know whether the plot, the director or studio is to blame, but trying to inject a mother's domination and an slick promoter into the picture did not work because it dominated the story, certainly more than it should. Anyone who has played tennis, or any sport would recognize the scenes of the promoter attempting to coach Ms Farley's backhand are close to laughable. This movie was made in 1951. This movie and others like it, could no longer compete with television. It is still worth watching, especially if your interested in Tennis.
