I love both Clinton Webb and a Ginger Rogers, but this film was so oddly put together it felt disjointed and was a bit of a miss for me.
"It's like exhuming a man from his grave."-Professor Thorton Sayers
"Here I had always thought of you as a dignified intellectual person!"-Carol
"The phenomenon of television. It encourages people who dwell under the same roof to ignore each other completely."-Professor Thorton Sayers
A stuffy university professor of Latin and English literature gets outed as being a silent film star of the past with the moniker "dreamboat". Now a widower, he and his daughter head to New York to get an injunction on the films being shown on tv, before he looses his job.
"Washed up for so many years, then all at once poof we are right back on top again."-Gloria
"Mr. Ainsley may I thank you for the most boring afternoon I have ever spent in my entire life? Goodnight!"-Carol
I love Ginger's earrings in the taxi cab home in her first ride "home" with Thorton. The age gap between Gloria (Ginger Rogers) and the professor was too pronounced and the ending just seemed wrong.
I did adore the pseudo-silent film bits played throughout the film.
