The main cast here is marvelous. Cary Grant and Irene Dunne are great. Bullah Bondi is excellent. So is Edgar Bucannan as "Apple Jack". The story is wrapped around records and being just before America enters the war, there is no mention of the military in this one.
Instead we have an iconic couple Grant & Dunne who want to have kids but can't. Then they adopt a daughter and that girl is the center of their lives. Story is told through records playing flashbacks. There is happiness, sadness, and more in this plot.
To me, one major hole is Apple Jack. The movie script makes him Grants sidekick, but his character is not filled out properly. There is no mention of a reason Apple Jack keeps haning around either other than he has no family. So he adopts our Iconic Couple.
There is some music some viewers might recognize. That includes "When Baby Makes Three " which was used on the TV Version of MASH. Overall because of my confusion with Apple Jacks character I rate this one at 7 but that because of acting and direction. Still it's a good film.
