Heart-warming film
Such a wonderful film. Although considered a comedy, I found it to be very sad and nostalgic; handling the death issue of a loved one to a child. The Stella Stevens/Jerry VanDyke part was the only comedy. Dina Merrill as the snobbish girlfriend wanting to send Eddie away was perfectly casted. The theme music played was excellent and should have been Oscar-nominated. A lovely film, under-appreciated by critics. This was superior to the fluff of the TV series based on this film. Glad TCM airs this on Father's Day.
