As a retired film editor, I think the 1952 version of "Wait 'Till the Sun Shines, Nellie" was one of the most enjoyable film I have ever watched. I wish I owned a copy of it for my own movie collection. Yes, the character David Wayne plays suffers from many tragedies, but I think anyone who watches it can learn from the film. The film teaches viewers something about honesty between couples, something about race relations and some of the benefits and problems for children of growing up in a small town. The fact that it was shot in black and white adds to the drama of the film. I cried at the end every time I saw it on TV when the TV station I worked at showed it at night or on weekends.
