TY, I've always liked Barbara Britton. Very beautiful and a nice personality. I agree with you about today's societie's lack of appreciation of moral decency. And many of post babyboomer generations are not sure what the word decency means. Even many babyboomers have discarded what they have been taught as children about basic moral principles that come from the Bible.❤

Nice little movie with my mother's idea of the prettiest actress - Barbara Britton. They never really explained why the dead man was as disliked as 'Ole Man Potter' in It's A Wonderful Life. He didn't want his niece to marry a man he didn't think good enough and that was it. Altho there was a banker who made loans, he loaned money to the sheriff - nothing said on repayment pressure. But the killer had had enough and popped him. Maybe he kicked puppies.

Bendix was a wonderful actor and made many films; including playing Babe Ruth in the Babe Ruth Story. Amazingly, Bendix was Ruth's bat boy as a kid. He also did a very popular tv series called The Life of Riley, which I'm sure you would enjoy. He was a wonderful character; and the movie business in those years were rich with great character actors.
