No Doubt Racy For Its Day But Very, Very Slight
13 September 2005
Ginger Rogers happens on a baby being left at a foundling home. She tries to intervene and before we know everyone thinks its hers. I'm not sure why she's called a bachelor in the title but the point is: She not married. This was after the Code and the ensuing plot turns were doubtless risky.

But it's predictable and not especially entraining. David Niven is OK as the philandering son of Charles Coburn, who owns the store where Rogers works. Ginger is OK but I would say just OK, apart from the cat fight she gets into with a minor character.

Coburn is given very little to do and few lines. More's the pity. And the ducks that keep popping up! Yes, she works in the toy department but wasn't "Joy of Living" enough to convince RKO that they are not only not charming but also, in adult fare, highly annoying?
