THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR (1942) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Billy Wilder

Written by - Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder, Fanny Kilbourne (suggested by a play by Edwards Childs Carpenter)

Starring - Ginger Rogers, Ray Milland

"After a young woman is forced to disguise herself as a 12-year old girl to get her train ticket for half price, she meets a major who is she meets a major who is strangely attracted to her. Wilder is not afraid to go around the code restrictions by creating a comedic situation with intelligently placed sexual undertones. It is his delicacy too, mixed with a well timed performance by Ginger Rogers who has arguably never been funnier, that makes the story believable and entertaining."
