Viewing Notes

More Hedy who is second billed after Spencer Tracy yet Tracy is in nearly every scene and Hedy has appeared less than 1 minute in the first 30 minutes. Also love that this Austrian actor is portraying a Mexican American here.

Turns out Hedy has around 10 minutes of camera time but it’s a great 10 minutes. Didn’t care too much for the feel-good story but nice to see a film set in Central Coast and Monterey.
