Child bride Claudia Naughton (Dorothy McGuire) has made life difficult for her husband David (Robert Young) because she can't stand living so far away from her mother. She's also afraid her husband doesn't find her desirable enough. To remedy both situations, she plans to sell their farm to an opera singer so they'll have to move back to the city near her mother, and she tries to make her husband jealous by flirting with a neighbor. Eventually, Claudia has to learn to grow when she discovers that she's about to become a mother and that her own mother is gravely ill. (Imdb.com)

Sweet movie…loosing a Mother is tough. So is a Father. It took me a year to get over my loss from Mom. Today I can laugh, smile and think of her without pain.

[@sleeplessdreamer1814]

Same with me after Mom died.

[@eileenbachemin1617]

It is hard 😢

[@amm287]

It was the same for me, and I had 6 years to prepare.

I've lost my mom 55 days ago...devasted, lost and heartache are only the tiniest words that could describe how it feels!

[@monicaclark9581]

Sorry Irene about your great loss of your mother. Happy to hear you had a loving relationship with with her. It was a comfort to her I'm sure.

The oldies are new again. Great movie

[@kayesharples7074]

I only mentioned the main actors before, but all the acting in this film is top rate.

[@jamesryan6008]

Robert Young was a very underrated actor. After watching "Claudia", I highly recommended watching "The Mortal Storm" or "They Wouldn't Believe Me". Those movies will make you look at Robert Young in a different way.

[@librarynan4610]

And The Enchanted Cottage.

[@raresilentsandtalkies]

Agreed! And H.M. Pulham Esq. too!

[@minx2528]

​@Library Nan You beat me to it!! I saw the Enchanted Cottage (during covid), and I was blown away by Robert Young's performance.. I only knew Robert Young as a TV personality, I didn't realize he was a film actor as well!

[@janicemahan4772]

They were wonderful in The Secret Cottage.

It's a comedy... its just nuts. But beautiful characters 🇬🇧

[@starboard6372]

I didn't realize that Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire had made several movies together.!.."The Enchanted Cottage" can't be beat!

[@leodegas7731]

The most childish grown-up movie I've ever seen in my 61 years of life. So happy to be surprised at my age by another great movie. That's hard to do. 😊

[@d.annejohnson5631]

It is difficult to explain how a movie about such a childish and immature woman could still hold so much charm isn't it?

[@timmythecat7478]

Thx.......

[@1LSWilliam]

Melodrama at its finest.

[@lindsaycooper9400]

Dorothy McGuire was very pretty and I liked her in Swiss Family Robinson as Mother with John Mills.

I don't usually go in for that sort of film but have to say I enjoyed it.

[@shirleyallen9108]

Right in style now, with those big old eye brows they brush on their faces.

[@skyiscrying]

There are few closeups of the actors' faces. I find it odd to watch and hard to relate to the characters

[@anton1990]

Olga Baclanova is fabulous (as usual) in this film! ❤️ She truly steals every scene. She was so versatile, and shows off brilliant comedic timing here.

[@Painter931]

At first I thought what a wacky movie. But I stuck it out and watched until the end. I was hoping I wouldn't cry and I didn't when the part mom is dying. It never reveals what her condition is but in those years science was not what it is in these future years. People passed very young years ago. My mom and dad passed years ago and my mom's whole family of ten are gone. As for Robert Young marrying Claudia I don't think that would have been real years ago. I know that men like fantasy girls. Claudia was a pretty fantasy girl, very silly and naive. The movie was quick and painless LOL.

Ina Claire...quite an accomplished actress , going back to the silent era , but also on stage . Too bad that she's not given more recognition .

[@j.w.2391]

One of my Favourites...marvelous actress / fine comedienne. and I agree she should be more remembered. Yet, portraits of her very competitive on Ebay. She was quite the fashionista in her day !

Dorothy McGuire sounds just like Betty Hutton in this movie. Thanks for sharing it.

[@thegreencat9947]

Olga Baclanova....from Todd Browning's " Freaks"

[@kayesharples7074]

High quality of acting from Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire...quite gripping at times...two under rated actors. Robert transferred to TV with the memorable ‘Father Knows Best’ and ‘Marcus Welby MD’ but didn’t rise to the upper echelons as a film actor that he well deserved. Dorothy...I don’t know, will have to research.

[@annemccarron2281]

Both were very accomplished for their era. They were not underrated.

[@thraciangrapes]

Dorothy McGuire is adorable in this movie! She reminds me of Barbara Bel Geddes here. Same voice. Blonde, and irresistible naiveté. I love how people were so close to their inlaws and treated them like real family. They called the mother in-law "mother", instead of by their first name, like people do today. And they cared for them and took care of them in their own home until they died. Today's ways are wrong.

[@j.w.2391]

Yes...I noticed that similarity to Barbara...same slightly high - pitched voice, girlish yet elocutioned.

[@youdecide4709]

I really enjoyed it. Thank you!

[@Caocao8888]

The endless goofy humor, coupled later with exaggerated pathos, escapes me completely.

[@antoinettegreen5344]

A very good movie to watch on Sunday evening! Thanks!!

[@j.w.2391]

Love this comedy...everyone is perfect. Robert Young is prepping for "Father Knows Best", the ever patient Daddy of a Scatterbrain wife. Ina Claire, though passed her prime as a chic Broadway star of the 20s and 30s, is warm and empathetic. Olga Baclanova is hoot as Madame D...after seeing Olga in films like A Dangerous Woman and Freaks, her comedic talents are a revelation, almost like a Russian Carmen Miranda...lol A shame Dorothy McGuire is didnt become a bigger star despite grand performances in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Spiral Staircase and Till the End of Time...she is a born actress !

I just couldn't finish watching this movie. That girl Claudia made me dizzy. running like a wild cat everywhere , she looked like a 15 year old ,she couldn't keep still for one minute, I can't stand her.

[@verasmith4767]

It was made in 1943. Sort of a war movie. Claudia got on my nerves also. Women were working in defense plants and in the military. She was flying around the room acting like a child.

[@granny58]

I found her very annoying

[@rosetucker489]

Although movies from the 40s and 50s are all I really watch, I found it difficult to watch this film to the end, because the character of Claudia, as written and portrayed was extremely annoying. She seemed to be so completely childlike, that you would wonder why any normal man would court her, and then go so far as to marry her. Living in the same house as her, would drive me crazy. I could barely stand watching and listening to her for the length of this movie!

[@tiffcat1100]

The next film Claudia & David is calmer but if you read the series of Claudia books she IS very young, spontaneous & naïve, she’s meant to be, plus a lot younger than David

[@PanteA..]

I’m watching this in 2024 and looks like a stupid movie to me. I can’t watch this childish movie.

[@Cynthia99911]

Too much whining and sarcasm. I have always liked Robert Young. Just not fond of this movie..
