Review of The Major and the Minor

Major and the Minor is a lot of fun. Ginder Rogers and Ray Milland are outstanding in this romp about a young woman who is tired of life in the big city and wants to get home to a small town in Iowa. She convinces a ticket agent to sell her a child's ticket because she doesn't have enough money to get a regular fare home.She passes for 12 years old which was frankly hard for me to believe. But still, Rogers is endearing and Milland is perfect as a Major in a military school. Early on look for Robert Benchley who plays a rich hotel resident wanting more than a combination egg and shampoo treatment. Rogers real life mother can be seen at the end of the film playing same.
