Goofs

In many scenes of the movie, Leo Smith (played by Billy E. Hughes) is seen wearing a rather flashy gold ring on his left hand. He and his five siblings are supposedly unwanted and basically homeless, none of them has more than the clothes on their backs, so it seems he would not have been wearing a ring. Evidently Billy Hughes forgot to take off his personal jewelry, and nobody noticed in time. Watch for the ring (among other scenes) where Debbie Reynolds is talking to him about praying to God, or when he is opening some of the boxes of clothing that were bought for him and he is examining his new shoes. The ring is plainly visible.

Cute!

This was a sweet little flick starring Debbie Reynolds as an exhausted Broadway star taking a rest in her country home. There she finds love, acceptance and contentment that fame, money and her career could never give her.

This movie is not available on video, so try to catch it when your local stations air the late night movie. Or try American Movie Classics. It's worth it.
