Claudio Carvalho The adolescent Susan Turner (Shirley Temple) is a fashionable and spoiled teenager that lives with her tough and uptight sister Margaret Turner (Myrna Loy), who is a judge. One day, Margaret has to judge the artist Richard "Dick" Nugent (Cary Grant), who is a reckless and wolf playboy, for a fight in a nightclub and she dismiss the case. Richard leaves the court and goes to the high-school where Susan studies to give a lecture of modern arts to the students. Susan has a crush on Richard and she breaks up with her boyfriend Jerry (Johnny Sands). She interviews Richard after the lecture and during the night, she lies to the portlier of his building telling that she is going to model for Richard and she sneaks in his apartment. She sleeps on the couch and when Richard arrives home late night, he does not see her. Meanwhile, Margaret and her friend, the district attorney Tommy (Rudy Vallee), are seeking out Susan. When they find her in Richard's apartment, they believe that she has been seduced by him and Richard is sent to the jail. Margaret's uncle Beemish (Ray Collins), who is the court psychiatrist, convinces Margaret to release Richard; otherwise Susan's crush would not stop. They make a deal with Richard forcing him to date Susan to diminish her passion. Richard dislikes the situation but has no other way out of the problem. While dating Susan, Richard and Margaret fall in love with each other; but Susan is a pain in the ass for them. "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer" is a dated, but delightful screwball comedy that makes you laugh a lot. Cary Grant is hilarious in the role of a playboy and wolf that is involved by an annoying teenager and sentenced based on his reputation. It is impossible to not laugh with the picnic competition and the meeting in the nightclub during the celebration of one of Richard's "acquaintances". If you need something to relieve you from a stressed day, watch this movie that you will certainly feel better in the end. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Solteirão Cobiçado" ("Desired Bachelor")

aciolino Key word: ENTERTAINING, a dirty word by today's standards where we are to be overwhelmed and impressed instead. Here, the script, the pacing, and wonderful comedic acting (another fossil of the past) all work together to produce a movie that keeps your attention and keeps you smiling. Sure, it is absurd. What farce isn't? What judge would allow a known troublemaker to date her younger sister? No, make that blackmail him into dating her? Sounds more like the plot to a film noir classic. But no. We look past it to allow for the fun. And the fun is plentiful.I heartily recommend this film to those who can let go and enjoy.

SnoopyStyle Rebellious 17 year old bobby-soxer Susan Turner (Shirley Temple) lives with her guardian sister Judge Margaret (Myrna Loy). DA Tommy Chamberlain (Rudy Vallee) would like to be more than an officer of the court. Richard Nugent (Cary Grant) is a defendant in Margaret's courtroom after two women fought over him in a nightclub. He's late to court and she's not impressed. She releases him and he goes to Susan's school where he is the painter guest lecturer. Susan idolizes him as a knight in shining armor. High school boy Jerry White (Johnny Sands) just doesn't measure up. She talks her way into his apartment. He's shock to find her. Tommy and Margaret get there right at the wrong time. Richard punches Tommy and is put in jail. Uncle Matt Beemish (Ray Collins) is the court psychiatrist and recommends Susan be allowed to date Richard until the infatuation wears out. Margaret is willing to drop the charges as long as Richard goes out with Susan.Cary Grant is terrific as ever. Shirley Temple's aggressive acting style which worked so well as a child is somewhat offputting as a teen. Her comedic style just doesn't work quite as well. Myrna Loy is too cold and doesn't develop any heat in the relationship. She has her mean face on for too long and the change is too abrupt. The comedy is pretty oddball and jailbait story is awkward at times. The saving grace is the charms of Cary Grant. He makes this work somewhat.

ccthemovieman-1 The slang of teenagers back in this era make this a "cute" movie that is humorous. It isn't just the teens that are fun to here: Cary Grant delivers a lot of funny lines himself. The screenplay to this movie won an Academy Award so you know the dialog is pretty good.The story is a lightweight and goofy one but would appeal to many people. It's a little slow at first but once Shirley Temple (now in late teens) begins to get a crush on Grant, it picks up. However, be warned that especially with comedies the humor often appears dated decades later, and this surely does, too.It's not what I'd call "hilarious," but it's a pleasant film and one of the few good ones featuring Temple as a young lady. Almost all of her memorable films were when she was a youngster in the 1930s. This gets passable grades, however.
