Summary: Witty and Fun
Review: I simply adore this movie. It's pure silliness and you'll want to watch it with a friend so that you can occasionally tell them "You remind me of a man..." Pick it up to see a teenage Shirley Temple and to laugh out loud at the wit and ridiculousness of it all. A guaranteed smile. :0) If you like this, you'll want to watch "I was a Male War Bride" as well.

Summary: TERRIFICALLY CUTE
Review: I thought this was a cute classic Cary Grant movie, He can be so funny or sexy and very masculine. He has always been one of my all time favorites. I love Myrna Loy too and of course everyone loves Shirley Temple. I loved the story-line and enjoyed all the characters.

Summary: The Bachelor & the Bobby-Soxer
Review: Plot: Dick finds himself squiring a love-sick teenager, Susan, in order to avoid a tougher sentence. He finds himself doing things that really don't suit his age. Eventually, he gets together with her elder sister, Margaret.This is Cary Grant's 50th movie and his second with Myrna Loy, and the only time he will be directed by Irving Reis. THE BACHELOR AND THE BOBBY-SOXER, is an interesting movie, which won an Oscar for Best Screenplay for Sidney Sheldon. Grant plays Richard Nugent, a gentleman painter, who gets caught up in a public disturbance in a nightclub, and appears before Judge Margaret Turner, played by Myrna Loy. His case is dismissed because of lack of evidence. That day Mr. Nugent appears at the local high school where Ms. Turner's sister, Susan, played by Shirley Temple, goes to school and Susan immediately, develops a crush on Nugent, her knight in shining armor. Susan goes to Nugent's apartment under the pretext of getting her portrait painted, and Margaret comes to her rescue, but hits the assistant district attorney and is put in jail. It is decided by Susan's uncle, a psychologist, that in order for Susan to get over Nugent and have his sentence reduced, that he should make a play for Susan. It all comes off so incredibly easy, and in turn Margaret and Richard become attracted to one another. Cary is at his best in playing Richard Nugent and the review from THE NEW YORK TIMES, dated July 25, 1947, states, "The performance of Cary Grant . . . is one of the brightest and sharpest of his many light comedy jobs. Being perhaps the most accomplished looker-askance in films, not to mention fumer and frowner, Mr. Grant has his opportunities here." Cary, "You remind me of a man."

Summary: Funny, 40's Screwball Comedy
Review: The Bachelor & The Bobby Soxer is an amusing, feather-light comedy about a playboy artist (Cary Grant) who to avoid jail is commended by a judge (Myrna Loy) to date her seventeen year old sister (Shirley Temple) who has a major crush on him. The move is made to curb the playboy excesses of Mr. Grant and to help get him out of Ms. Temple's system. Mr. Grant shows off all his comedic skills as he plays up the part by dressing like a teenager, adopts the slang of the day and makes a fool of himself in athletic events. For those use to seeing Ms. Temple as a preteen, will be surprised to see her as almost an adult. Ms. Loy is a bit too icy and stern in her role, but she's such a good actress, you can look past that. The film won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Sidney Sheldon who would go on to create I Dream Of Jeannie and become a best-selling novelist.

Summary: Abosultely Marvellous, Amazing, Amusing
Review: This is a 5 star film.
I really like Carey Grant, I used to think he was an old actor in the 60's and was shocked how much I saw him in movies from the 40's and 50's.
Finally, I realized just who he was and recognized him as one of my favorite comedians of all time.
This is also an all star cast of: Carey Grant, Myrna Loy, and Shirley Temple. We also have supporting lead of Ray Collins (Ma and Pa Kettle, Summer Stock).
Margrate Turner is a judge, who has just settled a case with Richard Nugent (Grant), and some "friends" about a brawl in a night club.
It wasn't really anyone's fault, so she lets them all go with warnings. Nugent is also a painter, and he is going to a high school to give a lecture on art. And all the girls just go nuts over him. Especially the 16 year old Susan Turner (Temple who is Judge Turner's sister). After the lecture she takes him into the back office to interview him, and begs him to paint her as Miss America. So, in a hurry to leave, he quickly promises her, and then hurriedly takes his leave.
Then when Susas comes home and tells her sister all about Nugent, and how much she likes him. her sister becomes angry, because she has just seen the man in court!
The girls have a fight, and Margrate tries to apologize, before she leaves on her date, but Susan remains cold.
And when Margrate returns to find Susan missing, she is worried, and blames herself.
Susan has really gone to Nugents apartment.
And when her sister puts 2 and 2 together, she hurries to Nugent's apartment. More trouble.
Because when Susan had arrived, Nugent had not even been there. And he discovers her just as he hears the heavy pounding on his door! Yikes! This is a really good movie.
I think it has alot of humorous parts, and is one of Grants best films.
You remind me of a man...
