What a delightful movie! Two of my favorite people, Cary Grant and Shirley Temple (not to mention Myrna Loy). ‘Susan’ becomes enamored of a visiting lecturer, ‘Dick Nugent’. Loy’s ‘Judge Margaret Turner’ “sentences” the suave artist to be Susan’s beau until she gets over the crush. Hilarity and hijinks ensue. As with Ginger Rogers in The Major and the Minor, you have to suspend belief a wee bit, but they are both loads of fun. In this one Loy is supposed to be Shirley’s sister, despite the 23 year difference in ages (Shirley is 19 here, Loy 42). Why Shirley’s movie career would end at age 21 is completely beyond me. She had become quite the ravishing young woman.

Like I said in a previous post on Shirley, when she went to her dad after turning 21 and asked, “Okay, where’s my over $3,000,000 in earnings?” He had to explain he’d squandered it all. What she got for a lifetime in showbiz was $30K.
