She died in 1996. with her very short unfussy haircut she looked modern even in the 1920s, astonishing how she looks the same in 1957! She has a very distinct look & she was a good choice as Betty's Mother.

Great Betty Hutton! What a tragic life...

This was Betty Hutton's final film (1957). According to Betty herself, she received no viable film offers after this film. Betty was lucky to get this film because she had walked out of her Paramount contract 4 years earlier which basically caused her to be blacklisted in Hollywood. She again walked out on a film in 1967 which only contributed to her further demise in the business.

Although it fleetingly captures the loneliness of some of its principals, it is largely a nostalgia-ridden and unimaginative comedy-drama that makes its points haltingly and without impact. Like the members of Carson High School's class of '41, 'Spring Reunion' tries desperately but fails to make its rosy dreams come alive." Spring Reunion was a screen comeback for actress Betty Hutton, her first film in five years since her departure from Paramount Studios in 1952, after the completion of the musical Somebody Loves Me. Although Hutton's performance was praised by several critics, the film generated little interest and failed at the box office. It was Hutton's last feature film. The film opened at the Astoria Theatre in London, England in late December 1956.

Her Dad ruled her and Mom knew this had to stop. Dad selfish as can be. Fred is right and good ole gal will be feelin mighty stupid in a few yrs. I have two girlfriends like this - SHE SURE DID RIGHT IN THE END

I always liked Betty Hutton and Dana Andrews isn't bad either. Great movie would love to have a copy on DVD.

Drama feito pela Bryna Productions, que pertencia ao ator Kirk Douglas (Bryna era o nome da mãe dele), nos estúdios da Republic, e distribuído pela United Artists. Lançado nos EUA em março de 1957, foi exibido no Brasil com o título de "O amor chegou com a primavera".

Just listening to the beginning of the movie I’m so happy I found this to watch instead of the crap on Fox CNN and msnbc. We need to stop watching those shows while their increasing they are increasing their incomes, they get rich we get nuts!! Watch pure good old fashion movies so the brain recalibrate to calm peaceful mindset I turned my cable off. I haven’t watched tv in 3 months. Don’t listen to the News unless I have to get weather.
