Featured review
Girl Looks out for Dad....
.....it was okay. It's an RKO shortie. First off, "Dad" (Herbert Marshall) and Valerie (Margot Grahame) both have quite the British accents, which is never really explained. The daughter June ( Anne Shirley) who is in high school, and around 18, runs around interfering in Dad's life, acting like a spoiled brat, and no-one will stand up to her and tell her so. It's a good way to kill about an hour but this wasn't Shirley's best work, or RKO's . Be sure to see one of her better films, like Anne of Green Gables, or Murder, my Sweet.
Gertrude Michael, however, was the real star of the show. As "Eleanor", she always has a twinkle in her eye, and seems to be having fun the whole time or at least most of the time. ( In spite of the hideous, silly dresses she had to wear throughout the film) – first when they are singing by the piano, and then when they walk around town. Then, again when June goes to speak with Eleanor, she is wearing the worst one of all. And again at the big ending, there's yet another horrible, overdone, big gaudy dress. Keep an eye out for June's high school friend "Billy" who pops up now in then in the film; he is played by Frank Coghlin, who made 132 films, but sadly, most were uncredited parts this was one of his few credited parts! Directed by David Burton, who wrote and directed in the 1930s, but seems to have retired around 1940. Not a lot of info on him
