Who spends 16 years as a shmoe in a hardware store, kowtowing to some miserable chiseler. Just so you can buy your own house? Is that the apex of ambition in 1947? And who goes to a family dinner and asks the brother-in-law to guarantee his mortgage. What a spineless weasel.
If Mary Astor was an aspiring musician in college, why is insufferable doofus S. Z. Sakall playing piano for young Liz Taylor? I've written so many reviews on imdb that I've run out of ways to describe how much I hate that guy.
Allegedly Frail Liz looks pretty hearty to me. She shows up at school she's gotguys linedup 12 deep to take her to the spring dance. Check out theguy just back from service and somehow still in high school. He's making moon faces at the Veronica Lake-alike and somehow immune to the charms of Liz even while snuggling right up to her in a classroom chair? Come on, now. Was he blinded in the war?
As for Hail Fredonia, holy smokes that poor girl getting put in the same frame as Liz. She's a squashed dog turd next to a Renoir.
Poor Mary Astor. So far and above the rest of the cast here. That woman could act. She's very convincing when she talks about how her dreams of Vienna were crushed. Personally I would have poisoned Murphy's after-dinner drink.
Except Very Special After School Specials rarely involve family murders. Too bad, really. Would have livened up this stiff.
