Pleasant enough creaker about an elderly scholar who connects with an old flame's orphaned daughter and tries to rescue her from her situation. Anne Shirley plays the girl and she's as charming and likable as ever. I've seen quite a few of her movies by now and I've yet to see a bad turn from her. The rest of the cast is mostly reliable old vets like O.P. Heggie, Etienne Girardot, John Qualen, Helen Westley, and Elizabeth Patterson. All are good but a nice cast and genial atmosphere can only do so much. The movie creaks along slowly and will likely try the patience of most viewers. It's worth a look if you're a fan of any of the actors involved but don't expect it to be some hidden gem.
