When Hobson forbids his daughters from getting married (their unpaid work finances his pub visits!), the eldest daughter defiantly tips her hat to Willie, the best shoemaker in the shop. Brenda de Banzie (“The Man Who Knew Too Much”), as the eldest daughter, persuades a stunned Willieto marry, which leads to the opening of a successful new store.As Willie, John Mills (“Great Expectations,” “The Big Sleep”) undergoes a gradual metamorphosis from painfully awkward to delicately confident. Together, this sweet couple turns a smart business transaction into a loving partnership.
