There is nothing quite like trying to explain yourself when no one will listen or believe you. It is even worse when you are held responsible for everything you didn't do.

The young and beautiful unmarried Polly Parish (Ginger Rogers) finds herself in just such a comical situation when one day she passes a orphanage and sees a woman leaving a baby on the stairs. Before she can stop the woman, she finds herself picking up the baby for fear it will roll off the steps. The door opens and everyone assumes this is her baby. Frustrated, she leaves and won't assume responsibility for the child. Later the baby is returned to her and she takes a liking to the cute little bundle of fun.

On the same day she is fired from her department store job and this makes everyone believe she has had to give up her child due to her job loss. Of course, it gets even more comical when everyone assumes the department store owner (David Niven) is the father.

If I tell you too much about this movie, it will simply spoil the plot. It is similar to a comedy of errors in which everyone makes the wrong assumptions and takes action on what they consider to be the facts.

I really had great fun watching this movie, although seeing such a cute baby in this movie started to get the maternal clock ticking again.

It is interesting to note that Ginger Rogers "at first" refused to appear in this movie, however she was somehow convinced to play the part. This was one of her early attempts at doing straight comedy.

Quite a lovely classic comedy.
