The plot of this lovely movie is set in motion by a shocking event, which takes the viewer by surprise: Jean Parker, at an impromptu engagement party, runs to a fire escape, which gives way beneath her, hurling her to the street.
She survives but has injuries that necessitate her wearing very realistic looking orthopedic shoes, the more disturbing as the movie has opened with her teaching children to dance and with her own lighthearted dancing.
The plot get s a bit complicated, but basically it is about four honorable people: Parker, her friend Una Merkel, Merkel's beau the always appealing Stuart Erwin, and James Dunn.
Dunn drives a truck for the Have a Heart ice cream company and falls in love with her because of her sweet face. She tries to hide her disability from him but he is not the shallow type to be put off by it.
This could make a stone cry (speaking as a stone.)
