1h 8min.- Betty Braley finds her heart pulled toward the charming but unreliable Steve Alden, a fellow who can turn on the romance but not always the responsibility. Her father Peter, a practical man with an eye on security rather than sentiment, champions the steadier Terry Clayton as the ideal match for his daughter. Around the Braley household, love becomes less a gentle breeze and more a gusty storm as parental expectations collide with youthful desire.
As songs and snappy pre-Code banter punctuate the courtship tangle, Betty tries to sort out whether she wants the excitement Steve promises or the stability Terry offers. Musical numbers underscore each shift in her affections, with playful duets and ensemble pieces turning the family parlor into a stage for flirtation and frustration alike. Misunderstandings, comedic interludes, and a few romantic gambles push everyone toward a final choice, where Betty must decide whether to follow her father’s wishes or the unpredictable rhythm of her own heart.
