Kathleen Freeman plays Anna, a Swedish immigrant who worked as a housekeeper for John Nesbitt's family in the long ago days. It's from the last year of MGM THE PASSING PARADE, a series that Nesbitt had been performing, on radio, in the movies, and later on television, since the middle of the 1930s.
