THE BACHELOR AND THE BOBBY-SOXER
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
This 1947 movie has a fairly absurd comic premise – and, for the times, a potentially risqué one. Cary Grant plays an artist, and hedonistic bachelor, whose art studio apartment is broken into by a smitten teenager, who wants to model for him. The girl’s older sister, a judge played by Myrna Loy, reacts to the incriminating encounter by forcing the playboy to date the impressionable young teen until her crush wears off. It’s an odd plot, made even odder by the fact that the girl is played, at age 17, by former child star Shirley Temple.
