Cooper gives a charming performance as the timid teacher caught between two women, ex-wife and fiancee, but the fun resides in watching the macho star hold, feed, and raise a baby (long before Three Men and Cradle)

"I burned that house down, not Sagittarius." Gary Cooper is surprisingly funny even tho the story isn't that great. They somehow make giving a baby up for adoption a comedy situation.

CJ C.

Rather minor comedy, Gary Cooper seems a bit miscast, but he is always good. Excellent supporting cast, good score and art direction. Cute but not very memorable, light and entertaining.
