Margie

A woman is going through the attic with her daughter. She comes across an old pair of bloomers. From there she goes back to the nineteen twenties. In those years she was a girl at high school. Her father was away for work and she lived with her grandmother. She did well in her classes and was on the debate team. The homecoming dance was coming up. Three separate suitors were circling around her. What was on her mind, though, was the school’s new French teacher. Running into him in the library complicated everything. The film tells all this in a light, nostalgic register. The state of the small town at that time is part of the story too. The title comes from the girl’s own name. Jeanne Crain and Glenn Langan appear in the ninety four minute film, an American production Henry King finished in 1946.
