There are a lot of clever sexual innuendos throughout the whole movie. The part where she's a phone operator at the military school cracked me up. Rodgers is not only talented with dancing but also for her comedic powers. You can't help but cheer for her when she successully dupes a person. Instead it is by the actinng power and charm of Ginger Rodgers that makes this movie a niche favorite. You should really be hating on this character, right? Your essentially watching the point of view from the girl who steals the boy away. It's so simple but you feel the intense showdown between the two women.Įvil but understandable on the fiances part. The Majors fiance tricks Susan into revealing her true age by having her wear a beautiful ball gown.In what has to be the most awesome dramatic non violent cat fight I've ever seen. She gets found out not by the Major but the fiance.
Seriously, if this is the product of military school then I fear for national security.
Everyone believes she's just a little teenage girl. Obstacles like every single male student wants to date her. The more she pines away for the Major, the more obstacles that get in her way.
There she meets the Majors fiance and begins the odd love triangle. She falls in love with the Major and decides to accompany him to the boys military school where he works. (Pssst.she's a thirty year old playing a young girl in pig tails.pig tails.) He believes her to be a young girl and allows her to stay in it. There she meets a nice young man named Major Kirby. She's discovered by the train conductors and rushes into the nearest compartment. (Pssst.Ginger Rodgers was thirty in this movie.) Except she only has enough money for the pre-inflation fare.So she comes up with a scheme to dress like a young girl to get half fare ticket. She decides to go back home on the train to Iowa from New York. Ok, maybe I have just a few teensy weensy reaons why.īrace yourself, it's another "aww-shucks- the hero-is -broke" movie.Ī young woman named Susan played by Ginger Rogers(huzzah!) is completely, completely broke.
