Description:Showman Jerry Flynn (Cary Grant) is out of money and out of ideas until he meets Pinky, a young boy with a caterpillar named Curly that dances to "Yes, Sir, That's My Baby." Flynn goes into partnership with Pinky and drums up enough interest that Disney offers to buy the bug for $100,000. but Pinky doesn't want to sell. Flynn strong arms him, then has a change of heart. But all ends well. Flynn makes up with Pinky and keeps his theater. Curly turns into a caterpillar and flies away and all are blessed.

Review - Once Upon a Time

Total corn, meant to bring hope to audiences during WWII. Grant overacted throughout. Janet Blair as Pinky's older sister was cute but didn't have much to do. Overall, pretty much just an embarrassment.
