Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film, its sequel By the Light of the Silvery Moon and Calamity Jane are among Doris Day's personal favorites of her own films. Interestingly, in all three, she plays tom-boyish characters who blossom into "might perty" young ladies.
- GoofsMarjorie first hugs Bill at the dance and the powder bursts all over her chest. In the next instant as they begin to dance Marjorie's front is clear of powder.
- Quotes
Mr. Winfield: Marjorie's young and very inexperienced. All she knows about men is their batting averages.
Stella: In case you're interested, this one's batting a thousand.

Featured review
a tuneful lighthearted American romp
Its not often I give a film 10 of out of 10 but Doris Day movies consistently rate that high for me. If you are in a depressed or foul mood, her smiles, her singing, and the cast members around her always can lift you to another place. This is much like a Technicolor Judy Garland film in a lot of ways, with homespun family values and courting. At first, I had a problem with the leads, who seemed too old, playing teenagers. The actors grow on you, especially Doris. The actor playing her annoying kid brother is terrific. The parents are well portrayed and protective. The housekeeper is a wiley classic. Even the family dog gets in the act in several scenes. I recommend the film heartily especially if you want to smile and sing along. Doris Day is and has always been a national treasure. I am very glad I got a chance to spend the afternoon with her in this film.
