Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie (1952)

Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Diverting slice of turn-of-the-century nostalgia has Wayne as the small-town barber left to raise two children when spouse Peters skips off for the delights of city living. Trial and tribulation follow, including a fire and the influence of bad company on the younger son. Adapted by Allan Scott from the novel by Ferdinand Reyher, and very capably put together.Author: TJ
