line from film has become a mantra in our house My husband comes from a small town. In this film, after the awful Sunday at the farm, and i am paraphrasing, Cary Grant asks Deborah's father, "When did you learn to walk?" the father says, when I was 2." Grant then says, "when did you leave?" and the father says,"When I was 18." Grant says, "What took you so long?" This has been a joke in our family for years. Though my husband loves his family, he didn't stay in Hillsboro, Illinois any longer than he had to. The subsequent happy life that the father has with Dr. P. and his daughter in their cozy home always makes me feel good, every time I watch the film. The film is actually very preachy, but it's done with such humanity and warmth, it isn't that noticeable. Hume Cronyn is marvelous as the little pipsqueak. what a touch to have him carry his little thermos around with him.
