Wonderful post WWII story of young couple on the GI bill.
7 September 2022
This is a delightful 1940's comedy based on a Faith Baldwin novel this is the story of a young married couple in which the wife Peggy is pregnant and the husband Jason is going to college on the GI Bill post WWII, when there were housing shortages and a lot of young couples having to scrimp, save and make due. Getting kicked out of their temporary trailer, Peggy talks their way into a retired professor of philosophy's attic. Unbeknownst to Peggy, the professor who is played by Edmund Gwenn has plans to commit suicide in three weeks. Peggy and Jason bring so much life into the professors life, that it is not long before his entire life has changed.

This was such a sweet and funny film...definitely a time capsule of post WWII history. Edmund Gwenn really steals the show. He is so endearing as is Jeanne Crain as Peggy that this is a must see.
