I give it props for trying to include a character reaction... but really neither the character image nor the reaction image tell much of anything. Heck, even with the caption I'm not entirely positive as to what it's saying.

I assume that the two sailors were told they were gonna meet an "aunt" of another character, and were startled that they got someone a lot younger than they thought.

Although this being an older movie, she still looks kinda old to modern eyes, AND without the caption, it could be an example of "prettier than we expected," rather than younger.

I think they thought she was older.

The look in their eyes sell it. Especially the guy at the right. It can be misunderstood to be about beauty, but I don't think it will mislead from the trope. The image along with the caption (and even more with the trope name) is sufficient to illustrate the trope.

That said, I'm naturally not opposed to an improved suggestion.
