While heartfelt and provocative, the purpose of the film is to influence, just like the myriad selections out there that are "religious" and work desperately hard to convince both the ardent followers and those who are opposed to their desired outcome of the virtuous foundation of their argument. It is being promoted to influence the 2024 election. That is the goal, and it is admitted in their promo: 2024 Road Tour We are THRILLED to announce our plan to utilize the award-winning documentary, 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture, as a tool for civic engagement and to drive voter registration for the 2024 election. Our mission is to organize 15 FREE public conferences in US cities impacted by extremist ideologies. The primary objective of these assemblies is to activate the audience to vote as we advocate for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community, standing up for democracy and promoting equality for everyone. We will discuss the power of civic engagement to stop evangelical and legislative domination and provide people with a sustainable narrative of compassion founded on research, history, and facts." Let everyone believe what they want. It's like arguing on social media...pointless.

Robert Mitchum is cast as an agreeable, kindhearted small-town doctor, against type, but he pulled it off beautifully. That man had IT!

Jean Simmons is cast as an impossibly pretentious American with a British accent, who behaves like an aristocrat, full of pride and hubris.

Her pretense is that she is wonderfully grateful for the hicks in Progress, Arkansas for the help that they gave her when she was a tot, sick, undernourished, motherless, and in poverty. Since she has no remembrance of lack, she becomes a liberal democrat thinking that she can decide what all of these hillbilles need, without ever getting to really know any of them. She know best. She gifts thing and cash and proves what socialism does to normal, goodhearted, though not wealthy, people. Greed and avarice begin to take over amongst these generous neighbors.

The debacle makes the news. Why wouldn't it? People love free-money!!! The darling town is overrun with gawkers and people with their hands out.

CUT TO THE CHASE, Mitchum comes in and makes it all better. He believes in work and integrity. He proposes marriage to the princess, even though she has "money"!!!

He is smart on so many levels.

Debbie Reynolds. America's sweetheart sings and dances her way through the brighly colored remake of Ginger Rogers' "Bachelor Mother". Zheesh I wish the male lead was someone, anyone, else!!! He is as dimensional as Flat Stanley, but Reynolds lights up thescreen in her usual way. What a doll!!! And the baby aint too shabby himself!!! If you can tolerate Eddie's boring performanc,e take a llok and enjoy this fashion frenzy, full of 1950's verve. Eddie Fisher was a louse, sorry to say, a bad actor, and a miserable excuse as a husband. But Reynolds, just watch her and enjoy the remake which is as close to the otirignal, except for the singing and dancing as you can get!

Great plot.
