Bachelor Mother (aka: Little Mother, My 5th Avenue Girl) |
Synopsis: They don't make Musicals like this anymore with Ginger Rogers as the sweet American girl next door. Polly Parish (Rogers) is a department store salesclerk about to be laid off after the Christmas holiday, who happens to be passing an orphanage when a woman leaves a baby on the doorstep, Ginger of course picks the baby up and the orphanage assumes that Rogers is the mother, despite her protests. The plot expertly weaves a delightfully funny web of assumptions and denials, with Rogers, Niven, and Coburn being expertly cast together.
* It is innocent enough for children yet entertaining for adults. Not alot of dancing but Ginger does showcase her East Coast / Jitterbug ability with Gene "Shadow" Cole which she learned from Hermes Pan in a dance contest in this film. |
