It's great to have people find themselves, to their astonishment, enjoying this little gem. 'My Lolita', Billy Wilder said some years later. Diana Lynn and Robert Benchley make up the icing on the cake, while Ray Milland is just wonderful in a potentially difficult role. The final platform scene...

I think anyone expecting realism in Ginger Rogers playing a young girl had better stay far far away. The sheer incredulity of it is a major part of the fun, especially combined with Major Kirby's eye problems ..... the opening scenes in the train with the conductors on her trail should serve as...

Well there you gol I found both 'girls' terrific whatever their age!

I'm still extraordinarily fond of this wonderful movie. The casting is great (how good to see the writer Robert Benchley doing such a fine job) and Ginger Rogers' real-life mother playing Ginger's mother ... and Diana Lynn as the real young girl who sees straight through Ginger's pretence. And...

I find that using emojis does really undercut the use of hyperbole, or irony or sarcasm. In 'The Thin Man' thread I did evince the hope that the film would be edited to remove all that drinking. Such comments are best un-emojied. Is emoji the right term for a smiley? I'm getting more and more...

I'm sorry, but this is not a forum for such inane arguments. How can anyone not love Ginger her to distraction, in her early Busby Berkeley appearances, in all her roles with Fred, and in 'The Major and the Minor'? I refuse to read such arrant nonsense. I'm all for free speech, but this sort...

To get back to The Major and the Minor. Her quite unconvincing 12-year-old really does add to the fun. Robert Benchley is especially good, as is the fellow who plays a lasciviously-minded clergyman. It's too too delightful for worlds.

Yes, I'll be trying Zavvi.com as well.. I can't keep up with amazon.co.uk; they seem to keep changing their policy on sales to Australia. They stopped sales after the Government started imposing GST at source on all foreign purchases, then started selling again after the US Amazon lifted their...

My very very very favourite Billy Wilder movie. I'll be in on the first day. Disbelief? I just don't care about such trivialities. The ending is totally unbelievable. And totally perfect. Can't wait. And good news about the dual-region release, since Amazon.co.uk seems to have placed an embargo...
