The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (1947 Irving Reis)

Cary Grant and Rudee Vallee both look they're just returned from some super-hot holiday as they're highly tanned. Judge Myrna Loy requests that Grant romance her seventeen year old sister Shirley Temple so she'll get over her infatuation. Grant is funny when pretending to be youthful. Ray Collins has some of the best lines; with Harry Davenport and Johnny Sands.

Written by Sidney Sheldon, photographed by Nick Musuraca and Robert de Grasse, the film was wildly popular taking $5.5 million; produced by Dore Schary who then was elevated to head of productions at RKO.
