What Is The Little Darling About?
The premise of The Little Darling without spoilers.
A comedy of errors erupts when Lillie Green, keeper of a boarding house, receives a letter from her old school friend Polly Brown, who promises to send her “little darling” daughter for a brief visit and asks Lillie to meet the child at the 3:40 train. The kindly boarders—a group of good‑hearted bachelors—rush to buy toys and even a baby carriage, eager to pamper the youngster. Their plans tumble into embarrassment when the “baby” arrives as Tootsie, a pretty 17‑year‑old who prefers garden paths and quiet nooks to toys, leaving everyone flustered.
