The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer

We're finishing our month of high school romances with a look at the intergenerational fauxlationship at the heart of Irving Reis's The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer! Join in as we discuss teenage Shirley Temple, Cary Grant's star persona, woman judges, and high school health classes. Plus: How does this movie show Hollywood's transition to the 1950s? Why is susan so mean to Jerry? How many guest speakers does this school have? And, most importantly for producer Dore Schary, is this title too suggestive? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!
