It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Hair-styles: Joan St Oegger. Make-up: Bud Westmore. Producer: Leonard Goldstein.Copyright 30 October 1951 by Universal Pictures Co. Inc. A Universal-International Picture. No New York opening. U.S. release: January 1952. U.K. release: December 1951. Australian release: 23 May 1952. 6,693 feet. 74 minutes.SYNOPSIS: A two-year-old boy discovers the hiding place of stolen money.COMMENT: Crammed full of talk, this Tom Ewell vehicle was obviously filmed on a rigorous "B" budget. However, it does feature some genuinely amusing moments, and is nothing if not spiritedly played — especially by Evelyn Varden.Frederick de Cordova's direction rates as competent and Richard Morris' script passably entertaining. There seem to be signs of obvious padding, particularly with Miss Adams' part. And she does not cope with her additional material nearly as well as Miss Varden, though, admittedly, Miss Varden has the more entertaining lines.Production credits are good, particularly Carl Guthrie's fine photography.
