Brian Aherne is quite good in this comedy drama. He is an enthusiastic juror who having convinced his colleagues to acquit "Natalie" (Rita Hayworth) of a charge of murder after she attempted to extort money from her beau, offers her a job in his family bicycle shop. He keeps her identity secret. Soon his son "Pierre" (Glenn Ford) is really pretty smitten and their normally ordered life starts to become a little bit hectic. At times, this is really quite enjoyable - Aherne is on good form (he reminded me a bit of Robert Donat), with a quickly paced script and a few red herrings about the girl's guilt or innocence to keep the plot interesting. The ending is a little bit contrived, but it is still not a bad reimagining of "Gribouille" (1937).
