Not "Arsenic and Old Lace, but . . .", 28 June 1999
6/10
Author: lynxlex from Wichita, Kansas

A pleasant Grant comedy with a grown up Shirley Temple. Nothing terribly original, but a pleasant diversion. Cary's entertaining as always and Myrna Loy fits the judge role nicely. Hard to believe that this movie, in which Shirley Temple plays a high schooler, was actually toward the tail end of her film career. What a waste that we didn't see more of her later.
