    charming B film

    Jean Rogers, never became a big star, but was always delightful Ditto Paul Langton as her husband. The kid and the dog are adorable. An unusual plot about a dog who was a thief but with no bad intentions; Short and charming. Could have been a bit longer. One hour is not enough time to tell this story about a soldier coming home after the war to his family and their simple life made complicated by their dog. I do not know if the dog did other movies but should have. The boy never became a child star but had a long career. Jean Rogers was lovely and I love her speaking voice. She never got the breaks she deserved and is totally forgotten today.
