Paid in Full (1950)

 Love triangle between Robert Cummings and sisters Lizabeth Scott and Diana Lynn (who of course gets to play the piano). A little unexpectedly it's Scott whose the nice girl and Lynn whose the B. Lots of baby envy, lots of melodrama, very much a 'cult of motherhood' movie.

 Eve Ardin plays the Eve Ardin part, the sensible friend who offers Scott sound advice. Produced by the Scott obsessive Hal B. Walls, movie was filmed in 1948 but for some reason held back for release until 1950. Based on a Reader's digest story. Carol Channing makes her film debut in small uncredited part. **1/2
