Bill Goodwin and Irene Hervey Doran make this movie fun. It is a harmless slice of small town life. Bill Goodwin spent years on radio reacting to comedians. His work in "The Jolson Story" is exceptional. Here he is in fine form as your typical harassed father of a teen-age girl. He knew enough not to overplay the part when he finds out that not only is his daughter married, but pregnant too. Irene Hervey is always a delight (see Honey West.) This film could have been clichéd by making the parents hysterical, or having the kids forced to move to another town. Also, due to movie timing, the graduation speech actually holds up better today than do most others.
This film is a pleasant time-filler.
