Little Margaret O'Brien lives with her mother, Phyllis Thaxter, and aunt, Angela Lansbury, in a small apartment in a poor part of town. She's constantly upbeat and everybody loves her, so much so that they've all lied to her about where her uncle, George Murphy, has been for the past 18 months. She thinks he's been travelling, but he's been in jail. Do you think eventually someone will slip up and she'll find out the truth?
Since Hollywood only makes movies about conflict, there's a good chance someone will eventually slip up. The only problem is this is such a B-movie, no one in the audience will care. The acting feels like someone accidentally turned on the camera during the second rehearsal, the production values feel like everything from the costumes to the sets were borrowed from another film that was finished earlier in the year, which they probably were. The story is uninteresting, predictable, and boring, including a tired trope of a wise, blind friend who sells newspapers on the corner. Rhys Williams actually says, "I'm smart, and not just because I'm blind."
