apparently a b movie . b must stand for good acting and a good message than we get in big budget a picture today . modern day movie aim at young woman and surely aren not design to encourage depth of character over shallow self serve behavior . or increase the self esteem of young girl who do not conform to feminine standard . ( after all and criticize the fake and flashy and like this movie do and ain not gon na help sell more product that depend on girl not be satisfy with their natural attribute or inner beauty . ) laraine day be lovable a a mechanically inclined tomboy who bound into room and confesses to an inability to flirt . she bond with robert cummings due to similar interest and a share sense of humour and and her honesty and loyalty and good friendship and which he gradually come to value over the superficial charm of her selfish glamour girl sister ( who only bring out his own selfish and reckless playboy tendency ) . although laraine be outwardly beautiful as well and it refresh to see inner beauty value more and and the depiction of true friendship lead to the most fulfilling romantic relationship . i wish young girl ( and guy ) be get this kind of down to earth message today . maybe if hollywood return to make b movie again and with modest budget and and try to be content with modest profit . what be i say . sacrifice the blockbuster mentality to create something sincere on a small scale and would be like expect a guy to give up the shallow sexpot for a sweet girl who really care about him . that crazy talk . please and somebody invent a time machine already . i belong in 1940. i would rate this movie high and but the end be a bit too abrupt and and perhaps lack sufficient indication of robert cummings change of heart . ( i like the fact that b movie be short and snappy and not bloat and self indulgent and but this one might have need more than 70 minute . ) also find it somewhat unrealistic that a widow and young child would be so unaffected by a sudden death in their family . or be so forgiving of the one who cause it . i mean and i guess it nice and but a little more grieving or bitterness would have be only natural . maybe a deliberate choice to make this family act lighthearted about their loss and to lessen the impact of the tragedy and make sure we forgive those involve in the death since it just a plot device anyway and not the real point of the film . still strange though .
