05/15/2022 Sucked infected donkey balls! Whose idea was it to cast crooner Bing in a dramatic leading role? Bad script with a contrived happy ending. The only thing true-to-life about this story is that men always get screwed in custody battles. See more 10/15/2013 Bing Crosby as an angry father, trying to keep custody of his kid. The role was perfect for him! See more 10/12/2013 Heavy handed dramatics but good performances. Inger Stevens is subdued but acts as a strong calm center for all the over heated emotions swirling around her. See more Read all reviews
