With the help of lovely sylvia (ginger rogers), he tries to get by in the big city. Ginger rogers actually has a heart in this one... she's not the rude, angry, shrew she usually plays. This one is a sign of the times... everyone, including the immigrant, is having a hard time finding work. Can karel raise enough money to enter the country properly before they catch up with him donald meek is here as the minister, just for fun. Good story. Directed by stephen roberts, who died so young at 40. Based on a story by norm krasna and don hartman. Frank, sylvia's little brother, is played by jimmy butler.
