A woman poses as a twelve-year-old to save train fare.

Sinekatalog’s take

Billy Wilder's first American directorial effort has Ginger Rogers posing as a child to save train fare. Cheeky and charming, with Ray Milland as the smitten major, it is a breezy, risqué comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
