This is a fairly entertaining "B" picture. I'm glad they've brought back a few of these on TCM.
Harold Peary plays Gildersleeve, and he's a hoot here. The other real treat here is the wonderful Jane Darwell.
The story is simple -- in order to keep his niece and nephew, Gildersleeve may have to marry the judge's spinster sister...a fate worse than death! Gildersleeve gets in a variety of jams as he works through his options.
There are some good laughs here, but some problems, as well. The pieces of the film don't always seem to fit together...seems rather episodic...and the conclusion of the film only implies a solution to the initial problem. But, that's okay. Overall it works if you just don't take it too seriously.
