The best this movie can offer is four women. They are Fay Wray, Ingrid Bergman, Susan Hayward and June Lockhart. The sons are dolts. Dad's a nice guy.
At first, I wondered whether this movie was the non-musical precursor of 'The Sound of Music'. But then, it meandered into strange territory where Ingrid Bergman and Susan Hayward eventually wind up in a hissy fit. (Other than that, Bergman is generally restrained in the movie, if not apparently lost at times.)
The ending is abrupt. Everything is thrown together in the last few minutes to try and tie things up. It reminded me of a nervous speaker who spends too much time on the introduction and then suddenly realizes there's no time left for the story and conclusion.
