Commentary
Janet Leigh made her film debut opposite Van Johnson in “The Romance of Rosy Ridge” in 1947. Six years later, they were again paired in “Confidentially Connie” (1953). Just like in the earlier film, Van Johnson is a schoolteacher who takes the calling of educating young people very seriously. He’s still in love with Janet Leigh, but they’re married when this film starts. This time, he is the one with the stubborn Southern father.
