Hailing from the days when films had proper titles rather just sticking 'II' at the end.
Spencer Tracy - along with wife Joan Bennett and a radiant young Elizabeth Taylor - returns to play the harassed father in this sequel that it was actually quickly dashed off during a pause in the filming of 'An American in Paris'.

This adaptation of an original by Jerome Kern representing Deana Durbin's only film in Technicolor - as well as her sole western - was probably her most ambitious and certainly her most expensive; but far from her best. Presenting a more glamorous Deanna - in heavy makeup up and sporting red curls - this was probably a makeover too far.
Buster Keaton recalled in his memoirs that he was employed to supply gags for Red Skeleton for a film starring Esther Williams that he called 'Swimming Beauty'.
From her first appearance limbering up on a diving board it was immediately obvious that Miss Williams and Technicolor belonged together; while the film's biggest single surprise has to be the presence of Basil Rathbone as Skeleton's scheming manager.
