| The stars and director of Four Daughters reunite for another tender Golden Era classic about love, loyalty and the sustaining strength of family. This time, the story revolves around a father who returns 20 years after abandoning his wife and daughters, just in time to warn his youngest against throwing her happiness away on a footloose charmer just like Dad. Daughters Courageous and Four Daughters have much in common: warmth, humor, poignance and the less-readily definable quality which we can describe only vaguely as an interest in people, The New York Times's Frank S. Nugent wrote in his admiring review, in which he judged it a thoroughly pleasant entertainment with a thoroughly pleasant cast to grace it. |
