Review of The Major and the Minor

I've seen quite a-few of Billy Wilder's works but since that was long time ago, I'm seeing them again, as I've forgotten most of it.

The Major & the Minor is an OK movie, nowhere classic in my eyes and I swear, if this film is not a metaphor for sex, then I don't know what is. Our beloved Susu Applegate is suddenly thrown in-between 300 cadets and suddenly everyone wants to jump in bed with her, as noted in the must and must-not dance.

Ginger Rogers transforms herself from a 20-something to a 12-year-old and then to an old woman. The way she transforms is done so masterfully done that when you will be re-visiting this film, it will be only for her performance and nothing else. From the supporting, everyone was just fine, yes, Ray Milland was nothing special, just fine.

Anyway, it struck me as a silly movie, quite irrational, but a decent entertaining movie that only once is more than enough!

6.8/10
