This a a lovely movie with a big heart. The father does foolish things when he drinks, but it's played for laughs. The best part is the interaction between him and his younger daughter, played by Linda Bruhl. The little girl is attached to her Papa in a way that can never be broken, and he would do anything for her. Their interactions make up the heart of this movie.
The entire cast is excellent, with Charlie Ruggles being especially charming. His melodious voice is delightful. So distinctive.
To top it off, the song "Call Me Irresponsible" is featured and it fits perfectly into the story. Nothing in the movie is overly dramatic, but it all fits nicely together. I saw this on TV as a child and loved it. I have the DVD I still feel the same way.
