Comment/Synopsis

This film is also known as Bachelor Knight. Cary Grant gives a talk at a high school where Shirely Temple falls in love with him. He then ends up in court where her sister (Myrna Loy) is the judge. She makes him take her out until she outgrows her school girl crush. This is a good romantic comedy that is well played by the three lead characters, Cary Grant as the playboy womanising artist, Myrna Loy as the stern judge who gradually falls for Cary Grant and Shirely Temple as the love sick school girl. There are some good comedy scenes (Cary Grant in a sack race) as well as some witty dialogue.
