Just This Once (1952)
Sweet Little Film

It's a shame this is unavailable on any home video format. I genuinely enjoy this little piece of mid-fifties fluff, good for the whole family. There's even a bit of a twist with a little bite at the end, if you look at it compared to most films of its ilk. What a great way to waste an hour and a half.
Janet Leigh is fun as the, of course, slightly uptight executor of the trust fund that the fabulous playboy Peter Lawford, who is also very good, lives lavishly on. I found most of the dialogue spot on and funny, and, best of all, poor Peter isn't forced to reform by the end of the film, and neither is Janet Leigh made to look foolish.
