Confidentially Connie

1952

Starring
Van Johnson

A poor teacher and his wife cannot afford to eat steak,
while the teacher's father is a rich ranch owner
who wants his son to return to the family business.

The father inadvertently starts a price war
when he persuades a local butcher to sell his son meat at half price.
In these days of anti-smoking lobbies
it is strange to see this film portray pregnant women smoking.
