I enjoyed this film. The film was aimed at people who had come through a depression and 2 wars and were now interested in moving to a nice home raising a family and enjoying things that their parents could not afford. Somehow this has been made out to be a bad thing by revisionist critics who like nothing better than to look down their noses at these people enjoying the economic expansion of the 50s. I say thank god for these 1950's "young adults". It's their whining kids who I have no use for.
