I kind of liked the first story, about the vagrant who literally can't get arrested in this town, and who hits on Marilyn Monroe, but I wasn't at all interested in the second story of this anthology, so I gave up after half an hour.  Henry Koster directed the former, Henry Hathaway the second.  John Steinbeck is our host.

I liked the touch of a man complaining about Katie at her funeral.  Henry Hathaway directed, twenty-four years after The Shepherd of the Hills.

The female lead is very annoyingly actressy.  This is based on Harold Bell Wright's novel and directed by Henry Hathaway.
