Sam, married with two children, is generous to a fault. He is so well disposed to his neighbors that they all take advantage, threatening the relationship to his wife. “I was working with Sinclair Lewis on another story and that’s when my wife told me, ‘Why don’t you make a picture about yourself? You’re always doing the most unbelievable things trying to help others.’” (McCarey) (Locarno Festival)
