Plot

The true story of Ruth Gordon's early struggles on the road to becoming an actress, against her father's wishes.

Sinekatalog’s take

George Cukor's gentle comedy-drama, with Jean Simmons, Spencer Tracy and Teresa Wright, is warm and funny, and Tracy is lovely as the father.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
