Gary Cooper stars as Casanova Brown, a small-town professor who steals his own baby when he learns his estranged wife (Teresa Wright), who is planning to remarry, is intent on putting the child up for adoption. Cooper hides out in a hotel and attempts to care for the baby, which makes fro some hysterically funny shenanigans as he learns a quick lesson in diapers and formulas. As if that's not enough, while he's away playing daddy - and mommy(!) - his fiancee (Anita Louise) is waiting for him at the altar! (ClassicFlix)
