7/10
another Hugo Haas-Beverly Michaels collaboration
1 October 2021
That Hugo Haas had such a sweet quality.

Here he's a jeweler named David, a widower who lost his family during WW II. Walking one night, he stops a young woman, Clara (Beverly Michaels) on a bridge as she's contemplating suicide.

He tells her a little about himself and the next day, she and her baby Judy show up at his shop. She has a decent job, but the woman taking care of Judy was taken to prison. David offers to care for Judy in the shop while Clara works.

It's a great arrangement, but Clara's boss offers her a housekeeping position in his home where she can have the baby with her, and he is moving to San Diego. To keep her from leaving, David offers her the same job. Eventually they marry and are very happy.

Clara is a former showgirl, and the baby's father, Mario, a pianist, suddenly reappears in her life. He doesn't want to interfere with her marriage, but his cousin has different ideas.

Haas and Michaels are both wonderful, and one really gets caught up in their story. It's very touching and poignant.
