  22. I really enjoyed this Filmfare many reasons.
    Irene Dunne was a great actor. She had it all; she could sing well, she could dance, was a talented comedienne and could be so soulful. Not to mention, she was beautiful with luminous skin. She was amazing!

    So much talent in this film; William Frawley, Alan Hale, etc. It's a treat to watch some great character actors giving their best!
    I liked the messages conveyed like helping your neighbor, regardless of their profession. And making a commitment and keeping it as well as growing up, growing your heart and pushing away one's ego for real happiness.
    Thanks again for sharing this film. ❣
