Summary
Eddie (Ron Howard) is a 9 year old boy whose mother has just died. His widowed father, Tom Corbett (Glenn Ford), still has to adjust to his new bachelor life and hires a housemate, Mrs. Livingston. Even if not ready to replace his wife, several women enter Tom's life, his neighbor Elizabeth Marten, a volunteer nurse, Dolly Daly, a Miss Montana Pageant hopeful and Rita Behrens, a chic fashion designer. In this funny scene Tom is visiting his son at summer camp. When Eddie is alone with his father in his room, he confesses to his dad that he has fallen in love with a fat girl at the camp, Cherry.
