Margie (1946)
Director: Henry King
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Harmless nostalgia as Crain passes on to her daughter tales of her own high school years in the Ohio of the late '20s, when the arrival of handsome French teacher Langan sent every girl's hormones into a tizzy. An unfortunate running gag involving knicker elastic, a crucial meeting at the skating rink, and much use of the popular songs of the time ease all and sundry towards an upbeat final reel.Author: TJ
