★★★★★ · Short, fun, movie · John Picarello · 2019-07-24
I checked this out because I am a Gale Storm fan. So of course I do not agree with the reviewer who said she is a, "better singer than actor." I believe she does both equally well. The rest of the cast was fine also. Watching this film was a fun way to pass an hour.
★★★★ · Entertaining · kareneliot · 2011-03-13
This one is definitely worth watching. It was quick-moving, well-acted, and had a great cast and a pretty good script. Very enjoyable.
★★ · Not like the book. · teacherdan · 2017-12-05
If you are looking for a movie with the same plot as Jeannette Stratton-Porter's Freckles Comes Home, this isn't it. The only thing this movie and the book have in common is the name "Freckles." Everything else is typical Hollywood fare of the 40s.
