What's the Shock of Ms. Pilgrim? **1/2
21 May 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This is your ordinary movie set this time of the Liberation of Women movement.

Bette Grable goes to work for the firm of Dick Haymes. They refer to her as a typewriter constantly. Isn't better to say typist or stenographer?

Naturally, the two fall for each other, but her involvement in the Women's Movement may make things go awry even though his aunt owns the firm and is a firm believer in the movement. Anne Revere is that person. Ironically, Revere and Roy Roberts, the latter appearing briefly in the film, share no scenes together as was the case with the Oscar winning "Gentleman's Agreement" that year.

How could manager Gene Lockhart try to get Grable out when the Revere character owned the firm?

Of course, there are plenty of Gershwin tunes in the film, but again it is ordinary and so highly predictable.
