It stars Wallace Beery, Lionel Barrymore, and Eric Linden as young Richard Miller, a high school graduate navigating love, literature, and idealism in a tightly knit New England family. The story centers on 17‑year‑old Richard Miller (Eric Linden), an idealistic, bookish teen preparing to graduate high school and head to Yale. He’s infatuated with neighbor Muriel McComber, but their romance is complicated by her strict father. Richard’s world is shaped by: Nat Miller (Lionel Barrymore), his wise, patient newspaper‑editor father Essie Miller (Spring Byington), his warm but anxious mother Uncle Sid (Wallace Beery), a lovable but chronically drunk family member Aunt Lily (Aline MacMahon), whose long‑suffering affection for Sid adds bittersweet humor Richard’s adolescent turmoil — heartbreak, rebellion, drunken misadventure, and moral confusion — unfolds against the backdrop of Fourth of July festivities, fireworks, and small‑town rhythms. The film ultimately affirms family stability, forgiveness, and the gentle transition from youth to adulthood. 🎭 Cast Wallace Beery — Uncle Sid Lionel Barrymore — Nat Miller Aline MacMahon — Aunt Lily Eric Linden — Richard Miller Cecilia Parker — Muriel McComber Spring Byington — Essie Miller Mickey Rooney — Tommy Miller (a standout early appearance) Low resolution scans provided do not show the full clarity and detail - words "mister Nostalgia' do not actually appear on the item itself
