Nostalgic look back into the 1920s with Jeannie Crain thinking back while in the attic with her daughter 20 years later.

Everyone has their eyes on the handsome new French teacher at the local high school. Glenn Langan plays the teacher, and Lynn Bari, always the schemer in the movies plays the spinster librarian out to nab him. Problem is that the script gave Miss Bari no opportunities for scheming and plotting. The devil was taken out of her.

We see what the 20s was known for- parties, the Charleston, those fur coats and everyone enjoying themselves.

Esther Dale does an awfully good job in the role of the liberated grandmother. However, I envisioned Ethel Barrymore for the part.

Throughout the movie, you wonder who Crain eventually married and you can't wait until her husband walks up the stairs. Yes, I was still surprised, but love conquers all!
