Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

weezeralfalfa Seems like Cary Grant is always getting into trouble, usually relating to a woman, through no fault of his own. As in this film, he is the victim of circumstances. Here, 42 year old Cary, as playboy Dick Nugent, is the object of a sudden infatuation by 17(actually 19) year old Shirley Temple(Susan): an ambitious and snobby high school senior. She wants to show that she is mature enough and attractive enough to turn the head of a still attractive charming playboy, old enough to be her father. She puts lots of gusto into her pursuit of Cary, who doesn't want to look silly dating a high school girl. Myrna Loy plays Shirley's much older guardian sister(42 vs. 19 in real life), Margaret, who serves as a judge and lives with Shirley. Actually, Myrna looks and acts more like Shirley's mother. There is much disagreement among reviewers whether Myrna should have bean characterized as her sister or mother. Evidently, she is an attractive old maid who is married to her job, although she has a boyfriend, played by Rudy Valley, who is the district attorney. In the first half of the film, Myrna dislikes Cary, partly because he was an accused in her court, partly because her sister became infatuated with him, sneaking into his apartment, awaiting his return. In approximately the last half of the film, Myrna gradually warms up to him and he to her, although they are hesitant to admit such to each other or others. Rudy, as Myrna's boyfriend, has several run ins with Cary. In the last one, he tries to arrest Cary just before he gets on a plane, in a secret rendezvous with Myrna, arranged by Ray Collins: a psychiatrist, originally called to work with Shirley. Ray turns the tables, providing a lie that causes Rudy to be arrested by an airport security guard. Cary and Myrna board the plane together. End of story.The previous year, Shirley costarred with debonair Franchot Tone, Cary's age, in a somewhat similar screenplay for "Honeymoon". In one segment, Shirley bumps her head and begins chasing Tone around the room, seemingly dumping her fiancé. Tone also costarred in another somewhat similar film: "That Night with You", in which 21 year old Suzanna Foster replaced Shirley. In each of these films, the message was that the May-December relationship was 'sick'. Of course, there were plenty of Hollywood films with a comparable age spread that got past the censor board. and weren't characterized as being sick. To take one example, 16 y.o. Joan Leslie was paired with 40 y.o. Gary Cooper, in "Sergeant York", and with 42 y.o. James Cagney, in "Yankee Doodle Dandy". Heck, my wife is 21 years younger than I am, and we've been together for 27 years. True, this won't work out well for everyone, and tends to have disadvantages after a few decades. As at least one reviewer said, this film is more cute than a riotous comedy. Shirley is certainly cute, still with her dimples. Both she and Cary were charming when not being harassed. Yes, Shirley tended to overact in some parts, but that usually resulted in comedy. Sort of reminds me of her little girl films: always trying to worm her way into the heart of some father figure, she usually being cast as an orphan, and always trying to act more mature than her years.

SimonJack "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer" is a madcap comedy that earned playwright Sidney Sheldon an Oscar for best original screenplay in 1947. The plot isn't special, but it's quite quirky. And it fits nicely as the frame to enclose a lot of comedy. The screenplay – the script, is what drives this film. "Bobby-Soxer" is filled with one-liners, retorts, and one-oneupmanship quips. Toss in some sight gags and you have a thoroughly enjoyable film. But what really tops this one off is the cast. Each role plays perfectly off the others. And that raises it to the level of riotously funny. At times, I found the dialog almost too fast to catch all the barbs and witticisms. I wonder how many people might have missed some of this film when it was released way back when. Were there fans then who went to the same movies three, or four or more times? Just to catch all the clever dialog they may have missed? This is where DVDs come in handy today. We can back up and replay what we may have missed.This film has two lengthy scenes which are laugh fests – one at a public picnic and one at a night club. Cary Grant, as Dick Nugent, is a master of comedy dialog. Myrna Loy as Judge Margaret Turner is a hoot with her straight face throughout. Rudy Vallee is very funny as Tommy, the jealous assistant D.A. Shirley Temple as Margaret's teenage sister Susan, Ray Collins as Uncle Matt (Dr. Beemish), and Harry Davenport as retired judge Thaddeus all bring much hilarity to their respective roles. The rest of the supporting cast shine as well. Since the script drives the humor in this film, some witty lines may help whet other's appetites. Susan asks Dick about his background. Dick says, "I did suffer. When I was 10, my mother and father had a double suicide pact. They made it. I was sent to an orphanage. Some days they didn't beat me. Then one night, I escaped. I ran away to New York. I used to steal." Susan: "What did you steal?" Dick: "Beg your pardon?" Susan: "What did you steal?" Dick: "Crusts of bread … and things. One time I stole a valise. There were paints and paint brushes inside. So I began to paint. Then they got me. I was sent to a reform school, but I escaped again." Susan: "Go on." Dick: "Back to New York. A wealthy society lady saw my work, fell in love with me and sent me to art school. The rest is history." "Susan: "How wonderful. How terribly wonderful."Susan: "You're going to make me an old maid." Margaret: "Only until you're 18." Susan: "I don't consider geometry a part of life." Margaret: "Mr. Roberts does. He says you're the first student to define a triangle as two women crazy about one man. You know I'd die for you, only sometimes it's very hard living with you."Margaret (on the bench): "It's important that I consider only the evidence presented in this matter. " District attorney: "Very well, your honor." Margaret: "Don't sulk about it." Turning to Dick: "Mr. Nugent, I've met your type before. In fact, I might say I sentence them every day of the week."Susan's high school boyfriend has just enlisted in the Army. Susan: "Well you don't have to make such a big thing about it, Jerry. After all, the war is over." Jerry: "I know, but guns go off by accident sometimes, or a fellow could trip on a bayonet."Susan, to Dick: "Do you know what you are? You're a regular Blackbeard." Margaret: "Bluebeard, dear." Susan: "Well, a rose by any color. " Dick: "Now, everybody's too excited." Tommy: "Nobody's excited." Jerry: "I'd punch you right in the nose if I wasn't afraid you'd break my jaw."When Susan finds out her sister, Margaret is attracted to Dick: "Why not send me to prison and get me out of the way?" Uncle Matt comes into the room: "I couldn't help overhearing – I had my ear to the door." Matt: "A girl her age is entitled to growing pains, isn't she?" Margaret: "Yes, but Susan's growing pains are rapidly become a major disease."Dick goes into his apartment and Matt is there. Dick: "How did you get in here?" Matt: "Well, the door was closed, so I opened it and came right in." Dick: "Well, you can open it again and go right out."Apartment bellboy: "I'm 15." Susan: "I'm 17." Bellboy: "That's okay I like older women."Matt, to Dick in his jail cell: "Well, on the whole, I think you'll find our Western penology system is quite modern." Dick: "Well, that's a load off my mind."Margaret: "Mr. Nugent, I have good news." Dick: "You're going to hang me." Margaret: "I'm afraid I'm the one who ought to be hanged." Dick: "Won't I sit down?" Margaret: "Please do."Margaret: "Please don't have any illusions about this matter. I'm dong this against my better judgment. I would just as soon my sister we're going out with an actor." Matt: "Judge Turner doesn't exactly mean that." Dick: "Oh, I was just wondering." Matt: "She means, as head of a psychiatric clinic, that I've recommended you as a vital therapy measure." Dick: "Hmmm. That's great! Recommended for children!"Margaret: "Thank you! You said that gracefully. Perhaps the result of practice?" Dick: "You said that ungraciously. Perhaps the result of practice?" Margaret: "I had that coming."Margaret: "It's nothing. I'm sure you didn't know she'd be here." Dick: "Are you sure you're sure I didn't know she'd be here?"

kenjha Circumstances force a playboy and artist to date a teenager who has a crush on him. It plays like a situation comedy, which is not surprising because it was written by Sheldon, who would go on to create TV sitcoms. What is surprising is that Sheldon won an Oscar for his screenplay. While it is pleasant enough, it never rises to the level one would expect given the star presence. Grant and Loy are the main attractions here and they do what they can with characters that are not very well drawn. It is described as a screwball comedy but there aren't enough laughs. Perhaps a director like Howard Hawks could have done more with it.

ccthemovieman-1 The slang of teenagers back in this era make this a "cute" movie that is humorous. It isn't just the teens that are fun to here: Cary Grant delivers a lot of funny lines himself. The screenplay to this movie won an Academy Award so you know the dialog is pretty good.The story is a lightweight and goofy one but would appeal to many people. It's a little slow at first but once Shirley Temple (now in late teens) begins to get a crush on Grant, it picks up. However, be warned that especially with comedies the humor often appears dated decades later, and this surely does, too.It's not what I'd call "hilarious," but it's a pleasant film and one of the few good ones featuring Temple as a young lady. Almost all of her memorable films were when she was a youngster in the 1930s. This gets passable grades, however.
