Plot Synopsis:
------------------- Prof. Oliver Wendell Holmes Dana is a small town high school principal who also has a research study with rabbits underway at his home. He's a widower with three daughters and a housekeeper-cook. He has been awarded a two-year research grant. A handsome advance man arrives to iron out the grant details, and the three daughters vie for his attention. Jane's attraction leads to scheming, raised eyebrows in the town, and some very funny results.

In the British version of this film, Deanna Durbin's finale was the patriotic favorite, "There'll Always Be an England" (music by Ross Parker and Harry Parr Davies, lyrics by Hugh Charles). Miss Durbin's "Thank You America" (music and lyrics by Walter Jurmann and Bernie Grossman), a song which didn't become popular despite Deanna's commercial single on Decca, closed the U.S. print. Both endings are included on the VHS and DVD release of the movie from Universal Studios.
------------------------

Tommy Kelly, Ann Gillis, and Marcia Mae Jones, the three child stars of THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER (1938), all appear in this film, now playing teenagers. Kelly is one of Gillis's young suitors, while Jones plays a friend of Deanna Durbin.
