Bob Cummings, Comedian

This is a pleasant enough comedy set in turn-of-the-century Miami as Bob Cummings plays a swindler who's been swindled: he's been given a deed to a large plot of mangrove swamp in the out-of-the-way community. So he decides to con the locals, some of whom are not as honest as he....

There are a few good points to this movie, including some nice scenery, both around the mangrove swamps and Terry Moore. Will Geer has a nice role as mayor-postmaster-sheriff, and probably Lord High Poobah and Arthur Shields slides easily through his role as Terry Moore's father. But Bob Cummings is a little too one note in his performance to make this more than average good.

Trivia
The first time that Will Geer and Ellen Corby, who would later play the grandparents on La famille des collines (1972), were castmates. Twenty-one years later, they would co-star in another movie, Napoléon et Samantha (1972), before the series would take off later that same year. The show's pilot TV movie The Homecoming: A Christmas Story (1971) from the previous year had a much different cast including Corby in her role but with Edgar Bergen in the Grandpa Walton role.
