My Take:

Typical yarn about two mismatched people thrown together who eventually fall in love. Van Johnson plays a womanizing playboy and an author of children’s books. June Allyson is an artist who has won a nationwide contest to bring his latest character to life. The problem? She’s a tea-toddler and he’s likes the hard stuff. The film was light on its feet and funny at times; I thought Hume Cronyn, who played Van’s publishing agent, was the best part of the film. There’s a nice foreshadowing moment for Hume, at an hour and five minutes into the film, that references one of his best-known modern films from the 1980’s.

What I Liked:

June Allyson, she has a pinch of Judy Garland in her, yet very unique. She had perfect comedic timing and smoky voice to boot.

What I Didn’t Like:

Not much, it’s a brisk little comedy with nothing too offensive.

What I Learned:

All about coffee Tasmanian style... and that the hat Van Johnson was wearing was called a beaver, which June's character was sitting on at one point... he makes a racy comment about it (if you watch it, you'll see).
