  3. I'm only 13 but all my life I have wanted to live in the 1930's!!! Everything about that time was just so perfect in my eyes & this movie made my love fall much deeper for these films! I'm inspired

  7. Pay, pay, pay… television fee is not enough, cable is not enough anymore, special channel abonnements are still not enough – they are not showing good movies anymore, you should also pay for private pay-tv! – Thank everone for the movies at youtube!

  13. Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Did you see her at the Senate hearing on the colorization of B & W films? She is so smart and so aware of everything that is needed for a good performance. People often underrrate the ability of actors in Hollywood's golden era. Ginger also reads a letter from Jimmy Stewart, who was able to attend, to the Senate. Another wise actor.

  14. That is a very sweet movie with great actors, and Ginger Rogers look wonderful in the long dress at the ball, thank you for posting this great old film.

    Ginger who was 35 at the time, and look every day of it, plays an 18 year old runaway from reform school
    The way they convey youth is to smear her face with Vaseline
    Other than that minor fact,enjoyable

  17. Enjoyed this love story, thanks! Refreshing to see people using facial expressions and body language, speaking volumes without speaking a word…and when they do speak, their tone and timing also reveals what's happening! The feminine fashions, their shiny, bouncy hair, glowing eyes and skin radiating health, the women's tiny waists and natural curving bosoms and way of moving gracefully. AAhhhh….and the clearly defined line between feminine and masculine humans!

  19. Sorry, folks.  Loved her when she danced with Fred; otherwise she never rang true.  Always a bit taken with her dramatic posing as if she were really emoting.  Apparently I'm in the minority, at least as far as these viewers go.  But just take a look at Tender Comrade or some such tripe and tell me she's not full of baloney.  Also she would be a Tea Party person given her politics a half century ago.  Not that there is anything wrong with that.   Now don't get hot under the collar.  This is all  worth not much.  But you know that already.

  26. Why did Ginger insist on playing teens half her age when she was in her mid-30s? It's kind of amusing in THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR because it's intended to be obvious she was too old for the character. But here, she just looks OLD. (old for the character, I mean)

    I adore Ginger, though. It's just something that annoys me. Rathbone is wonderful here, especially in the early scenes.
