Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Wide-eyed Lake, alone in the world, is impregnated by her sleazy boyfriend, who then kicks her out; a coincidental meeting with another pregnant woman on a train leads to mistaken identity, and she's taken in by a wealthy Boston family who think she's one of their own. Likable comedy goes flat, but benefits from earnest performances. Based on Cornell Woolrich's I Married a Dead Man, which was filmed before, more seriously, as NO MAN OF HER OWN (1950) and I MARRIED A SHADOW (1982). Paula Prentiss (Mrs. Richard Benjamin) appears unbilled as an obnoxious nurse.
