Comment
A department store executive wins a whole raft of prizes from a radio show. However their happiness is short lived as all the prizes start to arrive which disrupts their life. Things get worse when they realise that they will to sell the prizes in order to pay the tax. James Stewart and Barbara Hale are good as the couple trying to come to terms with their success. There are nice supporting roles from Patricia Medina as the portrait painter suspected of having an affair with James Stewart and Natalie Wood as the daughter.
