Review of Bachelor Mother (1939) by Amanda G — 23 Dec 2007
Entertaining. A thoughtful look back to help realize how much society has changed (and not necessarily for the better). Ginger Rogers is a single sales girl who happens upon a baby on a doorstep and is mistaken for its mother.
David Niven plays her boss who tries to help this single mother raise her baby by giving her a raise, a stable job and parenting advice. He ends up falling in love with her, marrying her, and making an "honest" woman out of her in the end.
Ginger Rogers is just cute in this movie and it is good if you like nostalgic movies. How are they going to live with this huge lie between them for the rest of their lives? Best not to over-think this one.
