Kid Sister (MOD) (DVD Movie)

This is an example of a good, light comedy done well on a very light budget.... Younger of two daughters who's been brought up according to the psychology book decides she's grown up and goes after the man whom mama had tabbed for older sister. Judy Clark plays the youngster very well, and the rest of cast supports her capably. At reception for older girl's cool swain, the kid, who'd been ordered to stay in her room, crashes the gate by posing as the family maid. She gets herself embroiled with a burglar (Frank Jenks) who takes her for a moll working the same racket. She and the burglar wind up at the home of the matrimonial catch later in the night. There's no reason for this, but it's done so smoothly, and the ensuing comedy is so engaging, that no one should mind the lack of logic. In the end, of course, the bright youngster had taken the man away from the older sister. (Variety, March 21, 1945)
