The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (1947)

This is a romantic comedy starring Carey Grant, Myrna Loy, and Shirley Temple. The story follows a high school girl named Susan who falls in love with a playboy of an artist who keeps running into trouble with the law, and he ends up going out with her too! Because of a misunderstanding at her school, Susan came to believe that the artist, Dick, wanted to use her as a model, and was thrilled because she was enamoured with him. Not knowing where she went, her sister Margaret became very worried, and when she found out where Susan had gone, was very angry with Dick. This wouldn't be a very big problem normally, but unfortunately for Dick, Margaret is a judge. Instead of sentencing him to do jail time, she tells Dick to pretend to go out with her sister to help her get over her teenaged crush.

At first things seem to be going according to plan, but Susan's infatuation shows no signs of waning, and even more concerting, there's a growing attraction between Dick and Margaret! How oh how will they all find happiness!?

A nice light romantic comedy with just a touch of drama. "You remind me of a man. What man? The man with the power. What power? The power of whodo. Who do? You do! Do what? Remind me of a man...."
