I sure do miss those 'dirty diners!!! There is a great small one in Huron, SD. Just a few tables, all in the 'kitchen' with the cook. And she makes WONDERFUL breakfasts and burger lunches!

Might be closed now due to Bidenomics.😮

Allen Jenkins ("Howard 'Harvard ' Quinlan") was also the voice of "Officer Dibble" from the cartoon "Top Cat". 👍

[@carlb8378]

Top Cat was so cool . It kinda reminded me of Sargent Bilko . Ok , I just Googled it and it was based on the Phil Silvers Show , I always thought so . 😊😊

[@janmeyer7074]

Allen Jenkins is a first-class scene stealer! Love him!! 😄

[@keithharvey7230]

Allen was top man!

[@paulhubbard252]

Sometimes I'd rather watch these old flicks
Then the one's they churn out today

[@brendakrieger7000]

Same

[@laurakibben4147]

@paulhubbard252
Except that sadly, very few are aware of the dirty dealings and deeds done behind the scenes of these otherwise "wholesome" films/times 😢

[@KareenKircher]

Short, sweet, and funny!

[@dianavais3361]

Did anyone else notice the last minute when the lady comes in and says: Would you mind holding my grandSON for me, Then she says: If SHE"S any trouble at all give her this. 😀

[@lucindamoran8686]

Thank you! Really enjoyable cute movie! I love these!

[@carlb8378]

He said she had " Eyes like limpid pools " , in my experence limpid pools are usually quicksand , once you're caught in soft brown or baby blues , you already know you're a goner , you never had a chance . 😂😂😂

[@FlipDahlenburg]

Limpid pools of Sulphuric Acid!!

[@Abijah12411]

Now that was cute and funny.. good films like this are forever classics.

[@howardkerr8174]

Apparently the "actor" in the role of the baby was in demand in Hollywood for a few months(?), I noticed he had appeared in a few other films in 1947.

[@laurakibben4147]

@howardkerr8174
Are you thinking of "Forty Little Mothers"?
That baby was played by twin girls and doesn't look too much like this one.

[@neenaserrao7130]

Light, fluffy, sits gently on the grey cells❤

[@rogeruscila2144]

Charming fun picture!

[@Josemjkno]

Very nice ! Thank you!

[@azcowgal5837]

There's nothing wrong with this movie. It's sweet and succinct.

[@FlipDahlenburg]

I had suspected the baby from the very beginning, but I admit now that I was wrong.

[@Yippekiyeah]

This was fun thanks😊 Reading the comments, I saw there are quite a few movie-buffs out there--also learned the movie meaning of word "Shorts", thanks all.😉

[@markblack6189]

This was a cute shortie.

[@RetiredSchoolCook]

[@MissLachine]

Sweet little Gem 🤭🫶

[@paulkitt-er9dr]

Tom Neal had a well documented troubled life which unfortunately overshadowed his quite impressive acting career

[@marbleman52]

I noticed that one of the other actors was listed as Keith Richards. He found out that he could make more money in a rock & roll band....lol..!!

[@kasandradowden2836]

I thought she said grandson in the beginning, then i heard she, 😅

[@birdlynn417]

What a drama, very funny!

[@anthony1947]

When the guy fell though the window after being shot you can still see him lying there just below the window frame. That's 55 minutes I'll never get back

[@dianapearson1771]

How stupid to believe a couple you don’t know let them take your baby “ out for a weekend in the country “ !!

[@UQRXD]

Ricky Ricardo as a baby.

[@mickeybitsko1676]

George meeker, Palm Springs musical man about town, if you know what I means by musical

[@movieedge7370]

What does be considered a streamline film?

[@kitparker9448]

That is a term usually reserved for B-movies with a running time under 45 minutes, give or take. In the days of double features, they would often accompany a long "A" feature.

[@ourv9603]

The Case of the Baby Sister?
!

[@Shamimsie797]

the baby was so cute

[@neildickson5394]

What kind of movie is 39 minutes?

[@janmeyer7074]

A short.

[@celesasheldon6931]

What a script 👁️🤯

[@paulcaron400]

I hate those Spanish commercials. I Spanish and French tell them to learn to speak English. This is America.

[@auletjohnast03638]

🔵THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THAT ANYMORE, PROBABLY ON THE 3RD UNIVERSE.🔴

[@mickeybitsko1676]

This is a a spin-off of the hat box mystery filum . Same crew. That was also a piece of lippert suboptimal trash

[@soniavadnjal7553]

You must have invested in the opposition/competition.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

It was hilarious in 1865.

[@keithharvey7230]

Your birth certificate!
