From the Moss Hart Play
10 June 2006
Odd film from the 1946 play by Moss Hart, who was not involved with the film.

Alexis Smith and Robert Douglas star as a divorcing couple who try hard not to drag their son, Ted Donaldson, through their mud. The film see much of its actions through the day dreams of the boy which are set in front of his drawings. Very clever and for 1948 a new topic and somewhat cutting edge.

For Hart though this was old stuff as he had already dealt with psychoanalysis in his groundbreaking smash-hit music Lady in the Dark, which starred Gertrude Lawrence on stage and Ginger Rogers on film. But this film is not without its moments.

Co-stars include Mary Wickes, Cecil Kellaway, Harry Davenport, John Hoyt, and Lois Maxwell as the secretary.
