Viewing Notes
The fourth and final movie in the Cary Grant set. Also stars Myrna Loy and an older Shirley Temple (in that she’s a teenager here).
This is one of those films that probably seemed charming at the time even though it’s rather uncomfortable and would be made later as Lolita bc that’s what this is; a 17 year old falls for a much older man. The scenes w/Temple getting super touchy feely with Grant are a bit icky. Of course he’s playing along b/c he’s really falling for her older sister Myrna Loy (older as in 20+ years older which is also weird). That said, this is a fun flick and Temple is great. I’d like to more films she’s featured in beyond her childhood flicks.
