That Girl: There Sure a Lot of Cards in St. Louis, Part II

Later that same decade....

Well, this isn't as good as Part I but it's still fun to see how Ann copes with Don's family and how he deals with them.  This time, we learn more about the play she's doing and even see rehearsals.  After meeting Stan "the Man" Musial, Ann decides that her future in-laws would be impressed if she took the opportunity to play the lead role.  Then she realizes what's really important, and that wins over Donald's difficult mother.

Frank Faylen and Mabel Albertson are of course back, but it's mostly a different cast than in Part I.  Penny Kunard, who plays the Hostess, had been Katie on Gidget.  Richard Schaal had been the Lost & Found Man earlier and is Bill here.  Thirty-seven-year-old Richard Libertini has a small, early role as John.  And if Shari Summers, who plays Jeannie, looks familiar, you may remember her as Edith Phern in Harold and Maude.
