Margie (1946)

Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Henry King
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Jeanne Crain plays an awkward teenager going through growing pains in high school. She develops a crush on her French teacher, is jealous of her best friend's boyfriend, doesn't really like her own boyfriend, tries to find a date to the prom, etc. Despite the rather shallow plot line, it does provide an immersive experience of small town America circa 1928. Crain, 21 at the time of filming, is too old for the role, but is pleasant enough.
