The film stars Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Shirley Temple in a story about a teenager's crush on an older man. Upon its release, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer was received positively by audiences and critics. Sidney Sheldon won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the script.
What ensues is a delightful comedy of errors as Richard squires Susan around town, while struggling to deal with an assistant district attorney (the suitably uptight Rudy Vallee) and Susan's own ex-boyfriend Jerry (Johnny Sands) as he falls in love with Margaret (and vice versa).
