Quotes

Great film about teens during the 1920s

This movie made me a fan of Jeanne Crain when I was 13. She showed a talent here for light comedy. The bloomer bit was hilarious. It was a "feel good" movie and although I have not seen it for years I remember it well. Too bad it is not in VHS. I surely would buy a copy.
