Junior Miss

One of those early and distinctly jaunty generation gap family tales in which a lively teenager (Peggy Ann Garner) exhibits such wildly rebellious behaviour as staying out past nine o'clock and wearing a natty ensemble that daringly reveals her shoulders. It all looks mind-bogglingly innocent and somewhat priggish today, but Garner gives concerned dad Allyn Joslyn a few nasty turns along the way. An undemanding yet entertaining comedy derived from a hit Broadway play, which is sprinkled with warm, endearing performances.
