Bachelor Mother (1940)
A breezy and romantic fairy tale, with the gifts David Merlin provides Polly as she will now be caring for her "son," where she not even gets her job back at the store, but raise in pay as well! Her landlady is not upset, but delighted at the prospect of babysitting! And the Merlin's Jr. store owner/executive, David, takes such a sudden personal interest in Polly and her baby and her plight.
David is attracted to Polly and also has a sudden interest, at first in a humanitarian sense, to little baby John. Then, David is without a date on New Year's Eve. And when father John Merlin gets involved on New Year's Day, the story becomes a family affair. That little baby changes their world. Which is what little babies do.
