Not much actually happens in this short feature, but it is a pleasant and innocent combination of light comedy and nostalgic longing. It features a solid leading performance by John Sturgeon, plus some good outdoors photography.
Sturgeon plays an elderly, well-to-do man who finds himself constantly irritated by the smallest of inconveniences, real or imagined. When his car stalls near a woods, he makes the acquaintance of an easygoing boy, and from there the story follows the effects of "One Touch of Nature". The story is neither complicated nor surprising, but it has some peaceful and playful moments that, even in its own time, strike a chord of remembrance and longed-for harmony.
While the technique and acting is pretty standard for its time, the outdoor scenes work well, and the story, simple though it is, has a timeless appeal. It's kept on a straightforward level that lets the story speak for itself.
