Movie Reviews of The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer
Movie Review: Has Charm, Laughs To It
Summary: 4 Stars
The slang used by teenagers back in this era ('40s) make this a "cute" movie that is humorous. It isn't just the teens that are fun to hear; 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 (in her late teens when she made this) 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. Stlll, it has charm and is enjoyable.
Summary of The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer
Through no fault of his own, artist and lady's man Richard Nugent finds a love-besotted teenage girl curled on his sofa. Through no fault of his own, the teen's sister is a judge who "sentences" thunderstruck Richard to date the girl until her schoolgirl crush wanes. Circumstances aren't kind to Richard. But they certainly are hilarious when Cary Grant plays Richard, Myrna Loy is the judge and Shirley Temple is the teen.Animation DVD Video
