this film be one of the most copied in the history of hollywood and i claim . i find it be clever without be profound and it character be unusually believable and well develop while and it be a light hearted look from begin to end at a very interesting plot question the precocity of young people who lack categorize definition and life experience and therefore the context to make prioritized value decision while in a word and it about the problem adult have with child who want to act a grown ups without have the mean to do so successfully . the central character of this film be a successful bachelor name richard nugent . through no fault of his own and the artist end up in court before judge margaret turner who recognize his innocence but warn him not to appear before her again on a similar charge and cause by a lady in a night club . and . the situation then become complicate by nugent appearance before a high school class a speaker and an event at which margaret daughter fall in love with him despite or because of the difference in their age . margaret enlist his help when a casual put off remark result in the daughter show up at nugent apartment to be paint . her idea be to have him continue to see susan and in the hope the daughter will realize she belong with someone nearer her own age . the result be merriment that take many form and include physical contest at a picnic where nugent find himself the rival of margaret boyfriend while try to lose for susan sake while a basketball game where he must champion her erstwhile beau from the bleacher while and family occasion where the dialogue turn frequently hilarious . the best thing about this screwball comedy and to me a a writer and be the gradual development of relationship it allow the audience to share . fundamentally and the film concern five person nugent and play with charm by cary grant and intelligent myrna loy a margaret and pretty shirley temple a a fast growing susan and her daughter and rudy vallee a grant rival and prefigure his stuffy role in how to succeed in business and other comedy and and lillian randolph a long suffering bessie and the family maid and confidant adviser . the happy end achieve for all in this story line be the result of the common sense show by loy and grant while the crewball aspect which be not a genre and but rather a way of handle social more comedy and be here make to serve a plot that involve several hard work normative people in a situation that should never have happen but have in fact happen . the production value of this bright comedy be far above average i suggest in every respect . leigh harline music be understated and very useful and and the cinematography by robert de grasse and nichloas musuraca be high contrast b or w and very good in a number of type of scene . director irving real and writer sidney sheldon keep the film pace and style very swift and consistent . art direction by carroll clark and albert s. dagostino and the set decoration by james altwies and darrell silvera add to the elegance and fun of the production . edward stevenson provide the gown . among the cast and cary grant be very well cast it seem to me a the suave and womanizing and genial nugent while he also portray exasperation very nicely and and his reading of comedic one liner be one of his best professional strength . myrna loy suggest her sensuous side so well that she fit perfectly the stuffy role of a judge who be decidedly unstuffy . her confidant in the film other than randolph be ray collins and always a great listener and man with a wisecrack or sage advice . temple be very good indeed a a teenager while her teenaged film be for me the best of her filmic outing . vallee create a whole new career for himself a droll comedic second lead with this impersonation while and randolph be very strong a the understanding servant cum friend . others in the cast include veda ann borg and dan tobin and harry davenport and ransom sherman . all the young people in the film be well choose by my standard . the film introduce the nonsensical you remind me of a man mnemonic and which become the springboard for the power and frank m. robinson sci fi classic and and a fine film of the 1960s . this be a dialogue and situation comedy with element of satire and more . it be frequently as good a it award winning screenplay would lead one to expect it would be and and then some . civilize angst about the young generation perhaps never seem to be funny than in this movie .
