Description: The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, 1947 - Cary Grant, Myrna Loy, Shirley Temple (DVD, 2004) NEW Brand new and factory sealed DVD. See pictures for more details. Shipped promptly and with care by The Thoughtful Cats. Through no fault of his own, artist and lady's man Richard Nugent finds a love-besotted teenage girl curled on his sofa. Through no fault of his own, the teen's sister is a judge who "sentences" thunderstruck Richard to date the girl until her schoolgirl crush wanes. Circumstances aren't kind to Richard. But they certainly are hilarious when Cary Grant plays Richard, Myrna Loy is the judge and Shirley Temple is the teen. Grant adopts the era's teen lingo, flub-foots through picnic races and clears one comedy hurdle after another in this irresistible winner of 1947's Best Original Screenplay Academy Award for Sidney Sheldon. Topping the fun is the cleverly escalated "Happy Birthday" dinner-club scene. You'll grin for days! The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer is an irresistible screwball comedy with the brilliant star combination of Cary Grant and Myrna Loy - who went on to be paired the following year in "Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House". Shirley Temple puts in a fun performance as the lovestruck teen trying to act more mature. The cast also features Rudy Vallee, Ray Collins, Harry Davenport and Johnny Sands.Despite the fun exhibited on the screen, by all accounts the shoot was not a happy one for Cary Grant. He reportedly hated director Irving Reis (and wanted RKO to bring in Leo McCarey, with whom he'd just worked in "The Bishop's Wife"). Nevertheless, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer opened to rave reviews in 1947, and strong box-office receipts helped the struggling RKO Studios through a very lean financial period. The DVD release features the Technicolor cartoon "Little Tinker", complete audio of the Lux Theater radio broadcast with Grant and Temple reprising their roles; and a Cary Grant trailer gallery." - Review by Byron Colin
