CLAUDIA AND DAVID showed up to please audiences of 1946, three years after Claudia brightened the roiling war clouds of 1943. After first being re-teamed in The Enchanted Cottage, Dorothy McGuire and Robert Young returned to the glove-fit roles of Claudia & David Naughton in another episode from their creator Rose Franken, who co-wrote the screenplay with William Brown Maloney. Walter Lang directed.

Claudia ended with the Naughton’s expecting a baby and the mother-to-be having moved ahead in the maturity department. That growth had come about thru some pain, and in this revisit to the couple, their comfortable farmhouse in Connecticut and a varied clutch of acquaintances life continues its back & forth tango of pleasure and problems, hope and uncertainty, folly and joy. As before, McGuire and Young mesh nimbly, the balance of humor and seriousness is adeptly maintained and a solid supporting cast is on hand, with choice segments going to Mary Astor, John Sutton, Rose Hobart and Jerome Cowan.

Not as big of a hit as Claudia, but still tagging a win at 72nd place on the box office roll call with grosses looking to be in the neighborhood of $4,000,000. 78 minutes, with Gail Patrick, Harry Davenport (once more playing a reassuring doctor), Florence Bates, Elsa Janssen, Anthony Sydes (four, as the tyke) and Frank Twedell.
