By all accounts, this movie is a dad's effort to please his little blonde star-struck daughter's irrational dreams of being a Hollywood star by producing a movie in which she might star - and it looks it. It's the movie version of the vanity press. Sappy story, untalented cast - it has it all. Perhaps in some universe somewhere, a child's first reaction to moving from NYC to a hick town in WV is to vandalize a WWI statue. Thank goodness for the wise judge who "punishes" the lad by sentencing him to visit veterans. Imagine his surprise that such a comely untalented lass as "Jill" is there to entertain the hapless old men. I laughed, I cried, I wished I'd stayed home.
