Country: US
Technical: col 89m
Director: Douglas Sirk
Cast: Charles Coburn, Piper Laurie, Rock Hudson
Synopsis:
A millionaire wants to leave his money to the family of his one-time desiderata, but determines first to go incognito and check that they are worthy of the legacy. In due course both sides learn something of the relative importance of love and riches.
Review:
Family comedy with a moral' of the kind Coburn did extremely well. Sirk handles the comedic elements, excepting some of the broader material, with surprising finesse given his customary fare, but it is Coburn's film. (James Dean is present, as a squiffy teenager, in one shot - on soda pops?!)
