While this was not the best Cary Grant film I have ever watched, I found it to be very enjoyable. In some ways it was contrite and predictable, buy I still found it a funny and a charming way to spend the evening.

Great cast. Cary Grant movies always worth watching he is great. Myrna Loy and Shirley Temple are great in this movie also. I have wanted this movie for a long time and I am pleased to have it amongst my classic DVD's.

Screwball slapsticks done by Cary Grant are always fun to watch; after all who doesn't like Cary Grant? This is another comedy teamed up with Myrna Loy and Shirley Temple. The movie tries to tackle an interesting situation; what would happen if a young teenage girl develops a schoolgirl crush over a much older man like Cary Grant, especially when her big sister (Myrna Loy) is the judge at county court. It is a tough call when you learn that the judge herself develops a soft corner for the bachelor.
Cary Grant plays a charming artist named Dick Nugent who finds himself into troubles when he least expect it, because women can't resist him, and their men get jealous and go after him. He goes to court for such a reason, and judge Margaret Turner (Myrna Loy) lecture him about his behavior, and he delivers a lecture on his dedication to art at the local high school. This catches the attention of young Susan Turner (Shirley Temple). The little girl gets a little adventurous and manages to break into Nugent's apartment and falls asleep. Dick returns from work and gets ready for bed without noticing the young intruder on bed. When she wakes up and say hello to him, and at the same time he finds that local police, accompanied by the D.A., named Tommy (Rudy Vallee) and Judge Turner herself are knocking on his door. This is not the kind of problem Nugent was looking for: He finds himself arrested and charged. Judge Turner is convinced by her uncle Matt (Ray Collins) to go easy on him; if she isn't, then young Susan will think of Nugent as a martyr. So he gets a suspended sentence on the condition he cooperates with authorities and help young Susan to forget him. He seeks (bribes) the help of Susan's ex-boyfriend Jerry (Johnny Sands) to steal the bobby-soxer from him.
Cary Grant was fortunate enough to play with some of the most beautiful and talented women of Hollywood. Myrna Loy is not exactly at the top of this list; the element of comedy triumphs at the expense of the element of romance. I would have liked more Grant and Loy romantic situations; nonetheless this is still a very delightful comedy. My favorite moments are when Susan attempts to pass herself off as both Dick's mother and Margaret's sister to help Dick escape from jail. The disruption of the dining scene at the club when Dick and Margaret try to spend a romantic evening is also a funny moment.
This is beautifully written for the screen by Hollywood veteran, Sidney Sheldon who also wrote such classics as; Dream Wife, Easter Parade, and I Dream of Jeannie (TV episodes).

I always loved this movie and sent to my Son and his family. They enjoyed seeing a great family movie with a good story and fun scenes. The next generation should witness movies that were clean fun and well acted as compared to a lot of today's tasteless comedy.

I had never seen this film before I happened upon it on Netflix. I love Cary Grant and enjoyed the younger Shirley Temple films when I was younger and so gave it a view.
This movie featured a Cary Grant in his hey day, as charming as handsome as ever. The story is about two sisters who live together, the eldest being a Judge and Shirley Temple's character, being an 17 year old high school student who falls in love with Mr. Nugent (Grant's character). After finding himself in the Judges court already, he has to date Shirley Temple's character until she tires of him.
Quaint, fun and enjoyable. I would recommend this film!
