Cast

Reception

Andre Sennwald, critic for The New York Times, called it "a winning and agreeable film", adding: "Mervyn LeRoy, the director of detonating screen melodramas, goes soft and sentimental in his new work without losing his grip on life. "Happiness Ahead" has a continuously warming effect and it produces a mood of benevolence and good cheer. In addition to the strawberry and heart-popping tunes, there are the title number and "Beauty Must Be Loved," which have a good uplift percentage in Dick Powell's sunny tenor. Mr. LeRoy seems to have made a lot out of a little.[2]

Preservation status

The film is preserved in the Library of Congress Packard Campus for Audio-Visual Conservation collection.[3]
