Very entertaining yarn about a wife who makes the decision, over her husband's objections, to invest in the stock exchange. I loved Janet Blair in this, she was quite funny and believable (and inspirational) as the housewife determined to make her future for her son bright by investing wisely. The plot sort of is rushed in the end, but oh well. We get a light comedy, and a lesson in stocks in this! This is a MUST SEE on this site! Bonus: a newsreel at the beginning about the dawn of female tour guides at the exchange! Weee!
