Take Care of My Little Girl (1951)
Good movie and was a play
11 May 2009 - 5 out of 8 users found this review helpful.
Saw the movie as a kid. Later it was a play and my senior HS class put it on. I got the Dale Robertson role and a girl I had a crush on got the Jeanne Crain role. We rehearsed a few times, loved it, but then the teacher, Mrs. Spencer, dropped it. Son of a gun, would have loved to have done it. Soon after, I learned that it was dropped because the girl I had a crush on did not want to do it. Life goes on.
The movie is running right now on TCM and this is the first time I've seen it since then. As an adult, became a working actor for several years and am doing it again now that I'm a retiree. Am in the movie "Fighting" now in theaters and "The Rebound" coming out soon.
