The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (1947)
(Bachelor Knight)
Country: US
Technical: bw 95m
Director: Irving Reis
Cast: Cary Grant, Myrna Loy, Shirley Temple, Rudy Vallee
Synopsis:
A lady judge's much younger sister falls for a painter she considers disreputable, but she lets him take her out until the girl gets over him.
Review:
Jolly screwball comedy, as if after the war no one wanted to have to think very hard about anything. Certainly it bears little resemblance to the real world as we know it, with the debonair Grant supposedly a painter (he never so much as holds a brush) and the maternal Loy a single judge. Still, it gabbles along agreeably enough, and draws a few laughs even now. Plus, there is the added frisson of the seventeen year-old taking a man twice her age to the ball game, especially when she's Shirley Temple.
