Movie Reviews of Daddy Long Legs
Movie Review: Astaire tried to do the best he could with this script
Summary: 2 Stars
It's just that the script was really flimsy to begin with. A college-bound orphan, even one from Paris, would be a little more street-wise. Instead, we get an overgrown child who spends an inordinate time writing to her benefactor. She is angry that she has not heard from him during much of her college enrollment.
Frankly, I don't find that a plausible development at all.
Instead of getting involved on campus, or seriously attending to her studies to make attending college academically worthwhile--she's pouting. Really, she should be grateful that she's even getting to attend college and won't have to worry about how it's being paid for.
This film made me feel sorry for Fred Astaire--who obviously has awesome dance moves.
I can't believe an agent actually encouraged him to take this part. Sure it was a showcase for his dancing, but some of the lines which he had to utter besides were pure camp. The guy deserved better!
