Teenage Shirley Temple ("Susan") has become infatuated with the rather rakish artist "Dick Nugent" (Cary Grant). When she manages to talk her way past the bellhop and into his apartment one evening - without him knowing - his life just gets a bit more complicated. You see her elder sister "Margaret" (Myrna Loy) is a judge who happens to be dating the DA (Rudy Vallee) so when they, too, arrive at his apartment we have a bit of a fracas ending with things looking bleak and jail beckoning for poor old "Dick". Luckily for him, though, psychiatrist "Dr. Beemish" (Ray Collins) is on hand and he suggests that the best way to get this man out of the young girl's system would be for the pair to date for a while... What ensues now are some fun escapades as the youngster falls deeper for the older man who starts to fall for the judge, who begins to fall for him much to the chagrin of her DA pal and to cute young Johnny Sands ("Jerry") who has designs on "Susan"... Some of the scenarios are a little contrived, but mostly this is an entertainingly amusing film with good performances (and lovely facial expressions from Grant) from the top three, a quickly paced script and even if I could tell what was going to happen from miles out, I still enjoyed it.
