All-American David and Goliath story that puts a widowed mother of two against a railroad tycoon.
9 August 2023
Doris Day is delightfully wholesome as the widowed single mother of two potential lobster business owner...and when her lobsters are returned to her dead from a large country club because the railroad didn't pay to have a staff member man the station in a Friday, she decides to take on Harry Foster Malone, the railroad tycoon himself in this epic David vs the Goliath like story. Dorris Day's character Jane and her two kids live in this picturesque small town where everyone still votes in person on every issue and her lawyer George Denham, played by Jack Lemmon, is not only her best friend from school but her son's Boy Scout troop leader.

Zany and fun, Jane ends up owning an old fashioned train in which she, her lawyer, and kids all go for a crazy ride in...in an effort to deliver her own lobsters.

More sweet than funny, this film did make me want to visit Cape Anne, Maine!

Innocent and wholesome, this is a wonderful show to share with a family. I highly recommend for a good family movie night.
