Removed from main page, as there is a cleanup effort on one of the pages linked here underway and I am not sure what to do with this entry:
Jail Bait: 19-year-old Shirley Temple as the jail bait, no less, playing 17-year-old Susan. Almost nobody believes Richard when he tells them that the sexy high-school girl snuck into his apartment on her own hook and he made no advances. Really the only thing that saves this movie from Squick territory is that Richard clearly has no interest at all in Susan; from the very start, he actively tries to make her stop loving him, either by talking up her classmate and ex-boyfriend Jerry in the hope that they will get back together, or by behaving in as unsophisticated a manner as possible to smash her image of him as a Knight in Shining Armor.
