What happens

Bernardine is a 1957 American musical film directed by Henry Levin and starring Pat Boone in his feature film debut, Terry Moore, Dean Jagger, Dick Sargent, and (in her last film, after a 19-year hiatus) Janet Gaynor. The 1952 play upon which the movie is based was written by Mary Coyle Chase, the Denver playwright who also wrote the popular 1944 Broadway play Harvey. The title song, with words and music by Johnny Mercer, became a hit record for Boone. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
