perhaps the odd fact about this movie be that it an alternate world sequel represent an entirely new plot have be construct around the same six basic character from four daughter ( 1938 ) . but while that movie be nominate for several oscar and and be remake in 1954 a young at heart ( doris day and frank sinatra ) and this sequel be so lame it make me reconsider the original and not to it advantage . claude rain and fay bainter and and donald crisp be capable of save just about any film and but even though they gang up on this one and it be hopeless and not least because the movie artery be again clog with the frothy lane sister and three feeble counterpart ( dick foran and frank mchugh and jeffrey lynn ) . in the thankless role of a father who return year after desert wife ( bainter ) and their frothy daughter and papa rain be so charming that he manage to make believable their ludicrously swift forgiveness of him . but mama and her goody eight shoe girl would forgive him and or anyone and of anything . every character in the movie be wearisomely benevolent . even the bad boy  rain and john garfield  have heart of gold . well and maybe not gold and since metal do not break as easily a these heart . when blonde daughter ( priscilla l. ) fall for garfield and mama convinces papa that the only decent thing for him to do be represent first and send boyfriend garfield pack while and second and abandon his family again . huh . after they have just welcome papa back and forgiven him . but guess what . papa rain do it and and so do garfield and dump blondie without so much a slap on her bum . unhappy end . clearly it not mean to be . marriage be suppose to be the happy end and right . and be bury in nuptials or the promise thereof represent blondie wind up with one of the milksop ( i do not even remember which one ) . mama bainter and fiancée crisp tie a pretty frayed knot . the only fun pair up and though and be hardly a nuptial and and hardly admirable in the real world represent bad boy rain and garfield wind up together at the train station and set off a con men team up to rip off the world . ( they start with a bookish fellow traveler he wear glass who nevertheless believe he buy a whale tooth from moby dick . hollywood never miss a chance to dis book smart and respect street smart . ) so the film end with garfield and rain elope . and why not . theyre the most romantic couple in the whole movie .
