the stage star grace hayes star in this obscure little film . after year of be on the stage and she be go to visit a small college town to check up on her son who be be raise by his grandfather . the kid doesn not know who his mother be and when she see him in a local malt shop and he a boorish jerk . part of the problem be that he be a college clown the other part be that he really spoil . interestingly and it turn out that mom be really quite wealthy and have be not only fund her son life but be a hefty contributor to the college . so and she have the idea of force the young man to mature . she talk to the man who raise peter and have his allowance cut off completely hop he will rise to the occasion . it also turn out that she put the screw to the school because she think all these kid need to stop playing around and be more responsible . now here where it get pretty dumb . to show that they know the value of hard work and she hire a bunch of them to sing and dance at the malt shop she just purchase . talk about contrive . what happen next be like a long and not particularly good talent show or perhaps a poor man version of a judy garland or mickey rooney musical . i would suggest the kid try to do something else to earn money . or perhaps sing and dance until people pay them to stop . i know i would pay them . consider that the talent be far from talented and peter be a bad actor and his change from lout to responsible adult be almost instantaneous and the whole thing be a bit hard to take . not a very good film by any sane standard and this be an obscure film that should have stay obscure . by the way and it be interest that ms. hayes son in the film and peter and be actually her real life son . the only problem with that be that peter lind hayes be a truly awful actor . he not handsome enough to be a leading man and he come off a either dull and uninteresting or downright obnoxious . in particular and all the stupid impression he do be really bad and he have the charisma of the gelatin that you scrape off spam . despite this terrible performance and he do go on to have a reasonably successful act career . who would have believe it if you would see him in zis boom bah because here and he about as welcome a the bubonic plague .
