Successful but weary art designer Rick Todd (Jeff Chandler) concedes to the demand of his advertising firm's vice president, widow Gwen Taylor (Laraine Day), to travel to a small town and recruit a famous artist for a campaign. When Rick grudgingly makes the trip, he meets Timmy Harkinson (Tim Hovey) -- who, unknown to Rick, is Gwen's son. Timmy has been fabricating fantastic tales about his absent father at his school, and Rick perfectly fits the bill to assume the role.

Set your HD TV on 4:3 aspect ratio. (That was the old TV format). Please do not expect DVD or Commercial level DVDs from these films. Email us for any additional info.
