Jackie Cooper stars in and also directs this popular 1950s romantic comedy. Cooper plays Socrates "Sock" Miller, a love-stricken young man, fresh from the Army. He lives with his beloved Aunt Gus and a sassy basset hound named Cleo, who acts as a canine Greek chorus to the viewers, adding snappy commentary to the wild antics of Sock's love life.
In 1931, nine year old Jackie Cooper, already a three year veteran of the "Our Gang" series, got an Oscar nomination for his starring role in the gut-wrenching film, Skippy. That same year Cooper co-starred with Wallace Beery in King Vidor's Oscar nominated classic, The Champ. In 1934, Cooper and Beery teamed with Lionel Barrymore to star in Treasure Island. Though the 1940s were light for Cooper's film career, he hit pay-dirt with TV work when he debuted in the successful comic series, "The People's Choice," in 1955. Decades later, in 1973, Cooper won an Emmy award for his direction of the smash hit comedy series, "M*A*S*H."
