...movie's boldest innovation is that the Broadway principals are allowed to repeat their roles: Maureen O'Sullivan as a small-town matron of grandmotherly age who haplessly becomes pregnant; and Paul Ford as her sixtyish mate, who reacts to his achievement with the dismay of a man who has accidentally set his garage on fire.
