Stuart Whitman takes the moody and broody James Dean route, Cecil Kellaway affects a reasonable Scottish accent, Jack Larson plays himself playing Superman character Jimmy Olson, Carolyn Jones looks ooky and spooky (and a bit like Keely Smith), and Ethel Barrymore does her best Spring Byington impersonation in this torpid tale of family estrangement. Whitman plays John Chandler, an Argentine-born ex-marine who finds himself housed in an apartment building with old Nana Chandler, who suspects he might be her grandson. If not for the fine cast, this poorly written feature would be unbearable, but as it stands its just the right side of tolerable.
