Thanks,PizzaFlix4 this romantic comedy w such an illustrious cast! Ms.Rogers is quite good in her role! It reminded me of an earlier version of"It Takes a Thief" w Grace Kelly& Cary Grant!
Ginger Rogers may not have been 18 years old when she appears in a film portraying an 18 year old, but if one suspends the reality and simply enjoys her wonderful performance, this is a perfectly delightful film. Well acted, directed and produced.
Just like Olivia Newtown John & most of the cast from Grease being in their 30’s. Even the Ferris Beuler cast were in their early to late 20’s & playing 16 & 17 year olds. Doris Day often played women at least 10 years younger. It always happened.
The story is similar to Camerini's Batticuore(1939) based on a French novel and starring Assia Noris. Thank you for sharing this one, it's a good film and well acted.
This film may not be considered a classic, but it exudes charm and has an all-star cast. In addition to Ginger Rogers and Jean-Pierre Aumont, Melville Cooper, Basil Rathbone, Henry Stephenson, Eduoardo Ciannelli, etc.
This was excellent schlock! Lol! How dare she look so young at 35. This means that she was 24-25 when she did all those dance movies. Jean-Paul Menjou was magnificent to watch. We were all robbed by this film. They all needed the money. Lol!
Ouida Bergere was Basil's last wife. she had an extravagant appetite for throwing celebrity parties and spending money that they didn't have. Therefore Basil had to work right up to his his death and take roles beneath his dignity and skill. So sad, Basil deserved better. However, what you sow you reap.
Let's face it. Rathbone got to the point where he just didn't care anymore. He was clearly tired of the system and just wanted to make money to keep his wife happy. Having said that, he always classed up whatever film he was in, no matter how bad, he would command every scene and wipe the floor with any other actor sharing it with him. He was a consummate professional who always put in a good performance as he realised that was what he was paid to do. He was always gracious with the other actors as well. No matter how talentless they were. He was a gentleman and a great actor. He had a level of class and sophistication that doesn't exist anymore. I often think if he were alive today, he would have had no shortage of high quality work.
Ginger before the tiny nose job ...turned her into one of the most beautiful faces in the world .. sparked a revolution in costmetic surgery ...so talented and hard working ...stawberry blonde
Oh, I just loved this sweet, crazy movie so much! I get so sick of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire movies and this one was just so refreshing. Thank you for sharing it!
In reality, his wife was a shopaholic and spent him into poverty. He had to go on book-signing tours and paid appearances to keep the bill collectors away. He shoulda taken her for a nice walk high in the mountains
Don’t get me wrong, I love most Ginger Rogers’ movies. But come on, trying to pass her off as an 18 year old....pulease...lol she looked her age in this one...35!
LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TRIED TO DESTROY THIS FILM AND IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN GINGER...NEVER SAW A WOMAN OF HER AGE IN 1946 TRYING TO PLAY A 20 YEAR OLD...TERRIBLE ACTING FROM EVERYONE...ROGERS MUST HAVE NEEDED THE MONEY...
