Dress It Up Anyway You Want

Agreed. The scene where Uncle Phil tells the colonel, his daughter and the others with a whimsical glee that the "woman" they thought he was cheating with is actually a 12 year old girl seemed very odd to me. Everybody was so relieved and was instantly a-okay with the situation without ever questioning WHY Phillip had a 12 year old girl in the bed of his compartment. They were all like "Thank goodness he wasn't sleeping with another woman, he's just a pedophile. No problem!"

I'm here, Mr. Man, I can not tell no lie and I'll be right here 'till the day I die

Ray Milland never speaks to Ginger Rogers like she is an adult while she is passing for a twelve-year old. If you get interested in a man who talks down to you the way Ramilland talked down to Ginger Rogers, you are easy. Or if you think you can interest a grown woman talking to her the way the star does, you must be single and lonely often.

The best diplomat I know is a fully charged phaser bank.

Absolutely agree. Too many younger viewers seem unable to understand that different times had different mores, and that so much of what they think of as creepy & squicky, was seen as something innocent & funny in the past, without any of the over-sexualized perception now so common today. The notion of pedophilia wouldn't have occurred to the vast majority of filmgoers then; as far as they were concerned, they were watching a screwball story & agreeing to pretend that everyone in it saw the grown-up Ginger Rogers as successfully imitating a 12-year old girl, fooling everyone. It was like an extended comedy sketch, nothing more than that. And a funny one, too!
