This is a movie full of Love, Comedy, and Romance all in one excellent movie. We can't get enough of it! All actors did an excellent job in this one. This is one movie we will never get tired of. It is always so refreshing to find a movie like this. If you are feeling down and out this will be a excellent pick-me up.

I never really knew about Beulah Bondi who plays James Stewart's mom, she is great in this movie. In fact she played his mother in a few other movies. I just realized she was in Tammy and the Doctor (1963) as Annie Call and she was very good in that too.

If you like this movie with Ginger Rogers, you will also like "The Major and the Minor".

Another actor I never really knew about is James Ellison, who plays James Stewart's cousin. I really loved him in this movie and would love to see more of his movies. A real handsome man and love to hear his voice.

This movie is a remake of a movie called Mother Carey's Chickens (1938) Anne Shirley as Nancy Carey, Ruby Keeler as Kitty Carey, James Ellison as Ralph Thurston, Fay Bainter as Mrs. Carey, Walter Brennan as Mr. Popham, and Donnie Dunagan as Peter Carey.

Both are really good family movies. Summer Magic is more on the musical end and Mother Carey's Chickens is more of the romance side. Both have a lot of love, kindness and care one for another.

This movie was remade in 1963 called Summer Magic with Hayley Mills. Both are really good family movies. Summer Magic is more on the musical end. Both have a lot of love, kindness and care one for another.
