What happens

Confidentially Connie is a 1953 American romantic comedy film directed by Edward Buzzell. It stars Van Johnson as a dedicated, but poorly paid college professor, Janet Leigh as his pregnant wife, and Louis Calhern as Johnson's father, whose schemes to get his son to return to the family ranch in Texas widen the previously existing gulf between father and son when they deprive him of a desirable promotion and a much needed raise.
