This movie is NOT about a husband raising minks to make his wife a coat.
The female lead, Nora Connors, plunges into breeding minks to make her own coat. Because of her husband's employment problems and her determined business mind, the family's life changes direction.
It is a very funny movie and although I abhor the notion of a fur coat and actually am vegetarian, I love the fact that no one seems to question Nora's capabilities because she is a woman, and this was 1953!
Another plus is the chance to see "Uncle Charlie" and "Mrs. Cleaver" outside of their later sit-com environments.
