Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

aciolino Key word: ENTERTAINING, a dirty word by today's standards where we are to be overwhelmed and impressed instead. Here, the script, the pacing, and wonderful comedic acting (another fossil of the past) all work together to produce a movie that keeps your attention and keeps you smiling. Sure, it is absurd. What farce isn't? What judge would allow a known troublemaker to date her younger sister? No, make that blackmail him into dating her? Sounds more like the plot to a film noir classic. But no. We look past it to allow for the fun. And the fun is plentiful.I heartily recommend this film to those who can let go and enjoy.

SnoopyStyle Rebellious 17 year old bobby-soxer Susan Turner (Shirley Temple) lives with her guardian sister Judge Margaret (Myrna Loy). DA Tommy Chamberlain (Rudy Vallee) would like to be more than an officer of the court. Richard Nugent (Cary Grant) is a defendant in Margaret's courtroom after two women fought over him in a nightclub. He's late to court and she's not impressed. She releases him and he goes to Susan's school where he is the painter guest lecturer. Susan idolizes him as a knight in shining armor. High school boy Jerry White (Johnny Sands) just doesn't measure up. She talks her way into his apartment. He's shock to find her. Tommy and Margaret get there right at the wrong time. Richard punches Tommy and is put in jail. Uncle Matt Beemish (Ray Collins) is the court psychiatrist and recommends Susan be allowed to date Richard until the infatuation wears out. Margaret is willing to drop the charges as long as Richard goes out with Susan.Cary Grant is terrific as ever. Shirley Temple's aggressive acting style which worked so well as a child is somewhat offputting as a teen. Her comedic style just doesn't work quite as well. Myrna Loy is too cold and doesn't develop any heat in the relationship. She has her mean face on for too long and the change is too abrupt. The comedy is pretty oddball and jailbait story is awkward at times. The saving grace is the charms of Cary Grant. He makes this work somewhat.

PamelaShort In this film, Shirley Temple is cast as Myrna Loy's younger teenage sister, and her responsibility since the death of their parents. Myrna Loy plays a judge and she first encounters Cary Grant, who plays a famous artist, when she has set him free after he was charged with assault and battery. He then ends up at Shirley's high school giving a lecture course, and the teenage girl becomes ( unknown to him ) very infatuated with the very handsome artist. When Loy finds out she sentences Grant to keep company with her sister until her crush for him is over. Grant and Loy eventually fall in love with each other and Shirley realizes the middle-aged Grant is more suited for her sister than for her. This 'fun and simple' comedy sounds easy, but the picture got off to a miserable start. Myrna Loy soon discovered playing Shirley Temple's older sister wasn't easy because she had to treat her rather severely on the screen. According to Loy, " You had to be careful in pictures about being to hard on dogs, children and Shirley Temple; otherwise you could really alienate audiences. Cary Grant did not like working with the younger director Irving Reis, and finally one day Grant stormed out in a huff. He went directly to producer Dore Schary and threatened to quit unless Reis was fired. Buckling to the pressure, Schary replaced Reis with himself. Temple takes her first screen drink in The Bachelor And The Bobby-Soxer, and the president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union protested that Shirley Temple would be doing a disservice to American youth if she drank on screen, on the the grounds she might lure unthinking teenagers to do the same thing. The studio vigorously denied that Shirley actually drank in the film, only takes a sip, makes a face and spurns the cocktail and the WCTU should be satisfied that Shirley spits out the drink. The behind the scenes adventures sound just as comical as the movie itself. Clearly this film survives because of Cary Grant's charm and meticulous sense of comedic timing along with the renewed box-office magic of a beautiful teenage Shirley Temple. Still a delightful comedy and an interesting look back to the 1940s.

Rastamon41 I enjoy watching Cary Grant may a fool of himself, he will do what it takes to make a movie funny, but the star of this movie is Myrna Loy, she was in her forties, but she look like she was only in her thirties, and still sexy. he relax way of acting was wonderful to watch, never over acting, therefore she was quite believable, throw in a seventeen year old Shirly Temple, and the other supporting cast and you have a wonderful little movie. I won't spoil it for you, but I would surely recommend this movie for a enjoyable night watching movie. The funniest part of this movie is the race, I could not stop laughing, it was stupid, but rather funny. I think anyone who like Cary Grant and the lovely Myrna Loy will love this movie.
