Storyline

- TriviaThis film was the first to have media ads taken out campaigning for an Academy Award. The ads depicted MGMs Leo the Lion holding an Oscar, reading "You've given so much, Leo - now get ready to receive!" Despite the ads (or perhaps because of them) the film received no Academy Award nominations.
- GoofsBelle's mole on her cheek/upper lip disappears halfway through her scene, then reappears later.

Richard 'Dick' Miller: I'm afraid I was born a hundred years before my time.
Muriel McComber: I was born ten days ahead of mine.

Featured review
I love period movies and this one captures the time and place as well as it is possible. The humor is gentle and very touching. The scene of the 4th of July morning, when all the young boys come out with their firecrackers never fails to put me on the floor laughing.
Wallace Berry's delivery of the one word line "soup?" is almost worth the price of admission by itself.
I heartily recommend this movie to anyone who has a heart. It will be touched
