This movie is so cute! I'm a sucker for May-December romances, and when two good-looking people are the romantic leads it always makes a movie better, so I was all set to like this romantic comedy starring Robert Montgomery and Ann Blyth. Even if you don't have a crush on him like I do, the adorableness of the romance might win you over. It's very cute, and Bob and Ann are so darling together.
The premise is a little odd, but it has to be, so you'll expect and accept the oddness of Ann's character. Bob is a WWII veteran-turned-actor, and he's called in for a special government assignment because of his acting experience. He's tasked with seducing a young debutant, Ann Blyth, so that her ex-boyfriend, who's wanted by the government for stolen jewelry, will get jealous and surface from his hideout. Yes, it's odd, but when Bob meets Ann, it gets even odder, so you'll need to be prepared. Ann falls in love with him at first sight and becomes obsessed with spending every minute with him until they're married, preferably as soon as possible!
To me, it's not that unbelievable, because if I bumped into Robert Montgomery, I'd want to spend every minute with him, too. However, the hilarious dialogue makes sure every audience member is shocked, even me. Ann prances around in her pajamas, Bob turns his face away from a kiss, insisting she won't have any respect for him if he gives in, and they both have the audience in stitches before the movie's even halfway over.
Check out this adorable comedy that's a time capsule of the 1940s, that glorious time when couples had to get married to express their love and going away for the weekend was scandalous. You'll get to see two very adorable people, and Ann balances and transitions perfectly from child to adult, since she was very young at the time but starting to play romantic leads. Bob is cute and charming, and he directed the movie, too!
