Some critics may have unfairly dismissed this as a  copycat of Meet Me in St. Louis but in my opinion the characters and script are much more enduring based on Booth Tarkington's 'Penrod' stories. The triumphant popularity of the movie led to a 1953 sequel By the Light of the Silvery Moon.

This really is an enchanting, wholesome movie.  It follows what are the very animated lives of the Winfield family, who in the movie have just relocated to a small town in Indiana. Doris plays Marjorie Winfield, the tomboy daughter, who is more at home on the baseball pitch than in a dress. This somewhat begins to change on the arrival of William Sherman (the boy next door). Unfortunately, William has some rather unconventional ideas for the era which is set during World War I. This includes not believing in marriage or money which causes friction with Marjorie's father, who is the local bank vice president.

Songs featured are Till We Meet Again and the title tune.
