Plot
Elderly schoolteacher Nora Trinell reflects on her life and teaching career while waiting to see Dewey Roberts, formerly her student and currently a presidential nominee. This film is reminiscent of Cheers for Miss Bishop (released ten months earlier, in February 1941) and 1955's Good Morning, Miss Dove.
