Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Australian release: 23 May 1952. 6,693 feet. 74 minutes.SYNOPSIS: A two-year-old boy discovers the hiding place of stolen money.COMMENT: Crammed full of talk, this Tom Ewell vehicle was obviously filmed on a rigorous "B" budget. However, it does feature some genuinely amusing moments, and is nothing if not spiritedly played — especially by Evelyn Varden.Frederick de Cordova's direction rates as competent and Richard Morris' script passably entertaining. There seem to be signs of obvious padding, particularly with Miss Adams' part. And she does not cope with her additional material nearly as well as Miss Varden, though, admittedly, Miss Varden has the more entertaining lines.Production credits are good, particularly Carl Guthrie's fine photography.
