<br />
The
film is a must-see, if only for the slightly disturbing sexual
undertones that inevitably make the uninitiated viewer squirm the
slightest bit. Setting pedophilia nuances aside, however, this picture
is an utter delight from start to finish, held together by <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/findresults_director_smart.asp?search=Billy+Wilder" title="Billy Wilder">Billy Wilder</a>’s witty script and Rogers’ canny comedic performance.<br />
<span id="more-15401"></span>There are some people who only associate Ginger Rogers with dancing partner extraordinaire <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/findresults_actor_smart.asp?search=Fred+Astaire" title="Fred Astaire">Fred Astaire</a>,
and that does Ms. Rogers a great disservice. Though I love the
Astaire-Rogers pairings as much as the next film fan, and though I
appreciate her Oscar-winning work in the sentimental melodrama <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/product.asp?sku=D63770&loc=buzzsearch" title="Kitty Foyle ">Kitty Foyle </a>(1940),
I think Rogers’ strongest work comes from her “solo” work as a
comedienne. Just see her turn as a wisecracking wannabe stage actress in
1937′s Stage Door (where she more than holds her own with the likes of <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/findresults_actor_smart.asp?search=Katharine+Hepburn" title="Katharine Hepburn">Katharine Hepburn</a> and <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/findresults_actor_smart.asp?search=Lucille+Ball" title="Lucille Ball">Lucille Ball</a>), or as the dance hall girl who marries staid professor <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/findresults_actor_smart.asp?search=James+Stewart" title="James Stewart">Jimmy Stewart</a>
in 1938′s screwball comedy Vivacious Lady (also featuring one of the
most hilarious cat-fights ever captured on film), or as the harried
single store clerk-turned-overnight-adoptive-mother in 1939′s <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/product.asp?sku=D06704&loc=buzzsearch" title="Bachelor Mother">Bachelor Mother</a>.<br />
<br />
And
The Major and the Minor provides Ginger with perhaps the best comedic
role of her career, as 39-year-old Rogers plays Susan Applegate, a woman
who dresses up as a 12-year-old girl in order to score a half-priced
train ticket back home.<br />
Forget that the disguise is completely
unbelievable; the joy of this film comes from Rogers’ deft ability to
make you laugh while shaking your head at the incongruity of a “preteen”
with a penchant for cigarettes, martinis, and attractive “older” men in
uniform. And Milland meets her step for step as the clueless “straight
man,” a military school teacher who longs to join the active front and
takes little “Su-Su” under his wing. The two leads play their roles
without an ounce of irony, preventing the material from sliding into
lasciviousness, and the ending, though predictable, has an un-cynical
sweetness about it that is wonderful to watch.<br />
Perhaps the film’s
most notable footnote in cinematic history is its importance in the
career of its director. The Major and the Minor marks Billy Wilder’s
directorial debut, and he co-wrote the screenplay (based on the play
Connie Goes Home by Edward Carpenter). Beginning with this film and
continuing through <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/product.asp?sku=D11520&loc=buzzsearch" title="Double Indemnity">Double Indemnity</a> (1944) and <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/product.asp?sku=D21284&loc=buzzsearch" title="The Lost Weekend ">The Lost Weekend </a>(1945), Wilder rivaled <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/findresults_director_smart.asp?search=Preston+Sturges" title="Preston Sturges">Preston Sturges</a>
as the premier writer/director of the 1940s. But Wilder’s career would
go on to last much longer than that of Sturges, highlighted over the
next two decades by such classics as Sunset Boulevard (1950), <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/product.asp?sku=D54920&loc=buzzsearch" title="Sabrina">Sabrina</a> (1954), <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/product.asp?sku=D21674&loc=buzzsearch" title="Some Like It Hot ">Some Like It Hot </a>(1959), and <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/product.asp?sku=D53866&loc=buzzsearch" title="The Apartment ">The Apartment </a>(1960).<a href="http://2h3mh837ken53kitqv1co5fh83o.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/The-Major-and-the-Minor-2.jpg"><img alt="The Major and the Minor starring Ginger Rogers" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-15418" height="225" src="http://2h3mh837ken53kitqv1co5fh83o.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/The-Major-and-the-Minor-2-300x225.jpg" title="The Major and the Minor starring Ginger Rogers" width="300" /></a><br />
In
The Major and the Minor, you can see the hallmarks of Wilder’s
directing style taking root. He eschewed flash and grandiose
cinematography in favor of highlighting the nuances of story and
dialogue, and his work became more about the performance than the visual
effects. It’s no wonder that actors like <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/findresults_actor_smart.asp?search=Jack+Lemmon" title="Jack Lemmon">Jack Lemmon</a> clamored to work with Wilder repeatedly, and that he would become the
second-most nominated director, behind William Wyler, in Academy Awards
history (and he won two, for 1945′s <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/product.asp?sku=D21284&loc=buzzsearch" title="The Lost Weekend">The Lost Weekend</a>–which also brought a Best Actor award for Milland–and 1960′s The Apartment).<br />

Ginger Rogers was one of the
pretiest and excellent actress of her time but is more now that she is
appreciated more than Fred's dancing partner, and even that she was his
best! I love Ginger and all her films.<br />

...Great review, y'all! Cool to see a fellow Alabamian on the classic blogosphere!<br />This
film is one of Ginger's top 5, for sure... love it when Ginger's
real-life mom, Lela Rogers, plays...well, her mom! The 'outtakes' from
those scenes were probably hilarious! <br />There's so many great scenes
in this one...and while it's hard to imagine Ginger (31 at the time) as a
12 year old, I think Marjorie above nails it, as the Major is the only
one who really can't 'see' well enough to notice... and the ending is
perhaps my fave of all Ginger films.<br />Thanks for the review! <br />Not sure if this is ok to do, but for all things Ginger, please stop by at <a href="http://gingerology.com/" rel="nofollow">Gingerology.com</a>! <br />

Ginger was so great that it seems
to be that even today some actresses-Jennifer Aniston comes to mind
-seem to be channeling her,though not with the original's success
rate.Fred was lucky to be paired with her because it was Ginger who had
the personality.I still search TCM for any of her old films that I
haven't seen,ruing the day when I have seen them all.<br />

I love "The Major and the Minor".
Ginger Rogers does it all well. Billy Wilder's first directed movie
and he got Ginger who was really hot right after winning an Oscar.
Everything in this movie is funny and I love the dialogue.<br />

Cute, cute movie. Ginger was so
versatile and proved to be a great actress as well as great dancer. One
of my favorites was "Once Upon a Honeymoon" with Cary Grant and Walter
Slezak.<br />

Actually this wonderful film was
made in 1941 before the start of WWII and not released until after we
got into the war. There are references about us getting involved in the
film. Ginger was 29 when she made this film and said it was one of her
favorites because she didn't have to wear so much makeup. One of the
funniest parts is the girls the cadets use as women from Miss
Shackleford's school and their tribute to Veronica Lake. The double
standards of the day are evident in this film but it's such a sweet
story and very beguiling. And of course Su Su wins her hero in the end.
One of my favorites too and on a rainy day there's nothing better then a
glass of milk/coffe and The Major and the Minor.<br />

While Ginger didn't look 12
through the whole movie, I still love the transformation scene when she
comes out of the train station rest rooms walking pigeon toed and swipes
the little kid's balloon.<br />
It should be noted that the only person she fooled before Ray Milland
vouched for her was the Major, and The Major has vision issues. If
someone you know says "this is my niece" and you think "hmmm, she looks a
little old for 12" you don't say "what a load of hooey!" because you
figure they'd know their own niece... so you chalk it up to her being
one of those kids that grows faster. <br />
Also unlike a real girl trying to pass as a 12 year old, Ginger was
the pretty female lead in a movie, made up and groomed to be 12-ish
looking some of the time but always the beautiful starlet underneath. <br />
FYI - Sue-sue didn't convince the Major to go fight, he was already
exercising his eye because it galled him to have been rejected. It was
his fiance that wanted to keep him home, by any means necessary.<br />
And I for one enjoyed the cadets turning the Maginal Line into a line...<br />

......pardon the false message
ending... (as I do with my friends). There are several major chain
retailers who sell new and previously viewed DVD's for $2.50-$7.00.
It's worth the effort.<br />

Too often I have been
disappointed to find that DVD's have been discontinued, when I have the
desire to add them to my collection. But I've been able to find some
gems (including this one) in some of the DVD bins at discount stores. I
found most of my Bogart/Bacall, Clint Eastwood, and John Wayne copies at
these stores. There were films like Mutiny on the Bounty, with Clark
Gable, The Maltese Falcon, Lassie Come Home & many others. Dig deep
and often. They seem to be available in spurts with long waits between
availability, but the waits are worthwhile. Get together with friends
who will call you (as I do others<br />

Major and the Minor is a great Ginger Rodgers film,<br />and
I think she actually brought out the best in Milland as his co-star in
this movie. And sometimes it even appears as if she shrinks in age as
she does her little girl act.<br />
But, I think Vivacious Lady has got to be her crowning moment in
comedy. She is so dam funny in that movie, especially during the cat
fight scene on the balcony. I urge anyone who hasn't seen it to look for
it on TCM. You won't regret it.<br />
Btw, Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball were related to each other. <br />
Wilder is in my top 3 favorite directors. It's a shame the movie
industry turned on him in his later years and he found it hard to get
work. We would have had quite a few more of his films to enjoy.<br />

No matter how you slice it, there is some FUNNY stuff in this film:<br />He (leaving their compartment for the dining car): would you like me to bring you back anything?<br />She
(groggily): Just coffee. (Remembers she's supposed to be 12): I, I

Wilder hit a home run with his
first directorial effort. In an interview Wilder talked about how Ray
Milland who was a big star on the Paramount lot at that time agreed to
do the film to help the first time director out. Ginger Rogers is great
even though she hardly looks 12 years old, but that's part of the fun.
Diana Lynn who also worked with Preston Sturges is terrific as well. And
Ginger's real mom plays her mother. A great comedy that still holds up
today.<br />

You left out a very good movie
with Ginger Rogers. She played the First Lady, Dolly Madison. The name
of the movie is Magnificent Doll. Burgess Merideth played President
Madison. Ginger played Dolly Madison. Good movie.<br />

One spooky aspect of the film is
its timing. In it, Ginger Rogers' character persuades the leading man,
an army officer, to do the right thing and get himself assigned
overseas. The assignment is in the Phillipines, right before World War 2
broke out. I wonder if his character was forced to surrender, or, like
my uncle, faded into the jungle and fought as a guerilla until
liberation.<br />

A gem of a film with Ginger
Rogers and Ray Milland perfectly suited for their roles. Musis plays a
big role too. Favorite scene and there are many, Ginger convincing
cadet to leave switchboard unmanned. It's fun from start to finish!<br />

Actually technically Wilder's
debut is Mauvaise graine (1934) (available on Kino) where he is
co-director though some (Danielle Darrieux) have stated that he was the
main director on it.<br />
I liked this movie though I'm not sure I would put it as a must see
with Wilder's mass amount of great films that you mention (I would add
Stalag 17 as well).<br />

You're right, Blair. The story
was revamped for Martin and Lewis in 1955 as You're Never Too Young.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you're a Ginger Rogers fan), it's not
currently available on DVD.<br />

Ginger Rogers Blogspot...

<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-4808983675382955811">
...for Clarissa! AND, as she so wisely brings up, the title above
hopefully throws Gingerology into the mix when a Google Search is
performed on VKM! Thanks for the suggestion, CS! I have Googled 'Ginger
Rogers' and 'Gingerology' a few times, and you are correct in that
G-ology strangely enough does not appear right off...I am not trying to
be the 'big dawg' here or anything, but would REALLY just like to see
more folks interested in Ginger to visit the site...<br /><br />...NOW, for
SassyGinger! AND PinkGinger! The question from PG was, "What color was
Ginger's (well, Susan Applegate's) 'after the ball' dress in Major and
the Minor?" The answer (via photo) from SG is...well, see below!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1lnjujdKN12T2ebkmm1FEbWGpeLd8690qGiNhU0xLCvcl7D2mfmVKdm8lzadJ6HUt7l6XaqODpm1k8HsZrMTN17Pmbws9a_ZMhtqtqj66skKJF3maYhQAj2o8YA6y_0WxhEfYghCQ6hZd/s1600/Major-Minor+dress.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556355196708519442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1lnjujdKN12T2ebkmm1FEbWGpeLd8690qGiNhU0xLCvcl7D2mfmVKdm8lzadJ6HUt7l6XaqODpm1k8HsZrMTN17Pmbws9a_ZMhtqtqj66skKJF3maYhQAj2o8YA6y_0WxhEfYghCQ6hZd/s400/Major-Minor+dress.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 175px;" /></a>
...so, hope this answers it properly! Although, there ARE a few pics of
her in this dress shown 'colored' in green - which DOES look pretty
awesome as well! Again, see below!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4iN2ankUEK4YyZN7S_u07y7GBpCcJaHs3TVj8_5LiKQcOPWW6BfnsRAMvOTbuh2nGtdG-w2CG7gFNRWVld5Z-bRzye40FhaCBp-xxXmFnpFPcN0BbiA-GfBg9BhmiHeXjiRLsI6-uLJg0/s1600/Green+version+of+After+Ball+Dress.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556357265720551218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4iN2ankUEK4YyZN7S_u07y7GBpCcJaHs3TVj8_5LiKQcOPWW6BfnsRAMvOTbuh2nGtdG-w2CG7gFNRWVld5Z-bRzye40FhaCBp-xxXmFnpFPcN0BbiA-GfBg9BhmiHeXjiRLsI6-uLJg0/s400/Green+version+of+After+Ball+Dress.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 226px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 179px;" /></a>
...ok - one more 'topic', while I am thinking about it...to two of our
newest Gingerologists, PinkGinger and princesskay... both of y'all have
set up awesome websites which are VERY Gingery! AWESOME!!! But...(seems
like I always have a big but...) - I cannot figure out how to 'comment'
on posts of either site... now, it may well be that y'all don't wish to
HAVE anyone comment, which is totally fine... but just wondering if I am
missing a 'magic button' somewhere to allow commenting... any info
would be MOST helpful and VERY much appreciated! Bottom line, I'm a
comment junkie!!! :-}<br /><br />OK - well, as 2010 is about to give way to
2011, and all of us here at G-ology hope all of y'all have a simply
BEGUILING New Year's celebration!!! This will most likely be the final
G-ology post for 2010, so... see y'all next year! Remember, it's
Ginger's 100th in 2011, so it's gonna be GREAT!!!<br /><br />KIG!!! - and also FUN, and SAFE this weekend, y'all!!!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />VKMfanHuey<br />---

It worked in a way.<br /><br /><b>Ginger Rogers Blogspot</b> gets you to page 3 in Google results. On top of page 1 you get that way now:<br /><b>"Ginger Rogers Blogspot"</b><br /><br />It
is easier with Jean, because Ginger is much more popular. And it's
easier still with Loyce Whiteman, because she's almost unknown today (I
tagged her once and got to the top in things Loyce at once). On
WordPress Ginger still tops the search terms. Can't put an end to it
yet, because I have no Jean films from 1934. At least I saw a few people
click over to Gingerology and that's just fine.<br /><br />This here was absolutely on top...<br /><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&sqi=2&ved=0CCQQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fscrewballcinema.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F03%2Fjean-arthur-easy-living-1937-funny-clip.html&ei=M5UcTYr8HoiSswaX_LjeDA&usg=AFQjCNHO0kRwPzVq0cV620XjyT9NR9p10w" rel="nofollow">http://screwballcinema/blogspot.com</a><br />...
before I started my headlining policy 3 weeks ago. You see, there's
nothing but embedded youtube, a headline and the comment "monty, that
was too cute." GOSH was I mad! - Not mad at Monty, I just began to hate
Google and asked myself: "Is this engine just ignorant or stupid?!"<br /><br />I
see you didn't beat HOLLYWOOD DREAMLAND yet. I think this is still
possible, for I already beat it in things Jean. Although Dexter's
articles are swell and I would consider it okay if he was ahead of me
(but not screwballcinema, because there's no content at all!).<br /><br />Another
point: My new policy caused that I get more clicks on articles on
Jean's films and there are less clicks on Ginger's films. I guess Google
sees me as a Jean Arthur institution now (as I always wanted).<br /><br />The post "<b>Jean Arthur - These Are All the Articles on Jean</b>"
really worked out. I typed it on the train on December 23 (on the way
to my family): Even more Jean clicks since then. Yes people have all
links to my articles on Jean's films on one page - and my most popular
articles are above. And Jean's full name is in the headline again.<br /><br />One can do a lot to navigate in the right direction.</div>

too lazy to write Monty with capital M).<br /><br />Well, Monty is a nice guy - he's really okay. It's just our own fault if our headlining is obscure.</div>

Yeah,
Huey I do want people to comment! I'm still trying to figure out how
to get this thing to work. If you click on the thing on the bottom
where it says 0 comments I think that's how you can comment. If
not...well I'll try to do some work on it!</div>

Clarissa -- That screwball website is neat. Among other things there are some awesome pictures of Myrna Loy on it.<br /><br />Sassy
-- You never cease to amaze. I'm still trying to decide if I like the
gold/tan? or green colored dress better. I think maybe the gold.<br /><br />Huey
-- Thanks for the fun and entertainment in 2010. I hope Clarissa's tip
brings you even more viewers in 2011 to celebrate Ginger's 100th. If
only Roberta would report in. <br /><br />Happy New Year to all!</div>

Happy New Year, Huey! I plan to be back more often in 2011. You've got a great blog - and such a fun group of followers!<br /><br />A
note to Pink Ginger - I noticed that your comment field says something
like: "Only members of this blog may comment" I think that all you need
to do to fix it is go to your "Settings" - then click on the Comments
tab. The second question is: "Who Can Comment?" You must have checked
off "Only Members of This Blog." If you change it to the first option -
"Anyone" - we can all start commenting! Hope that helps.</div>

Where
in the world did you find the photo of that dress? I love seeing the
actual items the stars wore and wish more of Ginger's had been saved.
But while I do like seeing the real thing, I do think the doctored green
dress looks smashing with her dark hair. :)</div>

CS:
Thanks for the 'Google test' report - again, would be nice to at least
be in the 'mix' when someone does a general Ginger search... and that IS
a cool blog on screwballs... really my fave genre (well, 'Ginger' is my
FAV genre, of course...) I watched a few Marx Bros movies on TCM during
the 'marathon' on New Year's Eve... yeah, they are kinda goofy, but
that usually transforms to pretty funny if you watch it long enough, and
especially after 10 PM or so... <br /><br />PG: Good deal about the
comments! I will jump over there ASAP! Ya KNOW I have to throw my 2
cents in regarding ANYTHING Gingery!!! :-]<br /><br />VP: Thanks for the
kind words! Should be a pretty cool year, 'classic-wise'! Looking
forward to it! It's always a weird 'connection' to me for Ginger and
Harlow... both born in 1911, but tragically Jean died so early, in '37 -
when Ginger was really 'taking off'... and later in Ginger's life, she
played Harlow's 'Mama Jean' -although NOT a good movie by any stretch,
still interesting role that 'connects' the two. 'Lombardians'...love
it! you can put me down as one of those as well.. love Carole!!! :-]<br /><br />Fioraon
- Thanks for the kind words! I will ONE day add some new stuff to the
site...I have been saying that for a GOOD while now - need to DO it!!!
and yes, if there was one 'interview' or whatever I would like, it would
be with Ms. Olden... maybe, just maybe, I can contact her... she MAY
read here, who knows? I like to think she does... <br /><br />Susan: Thanks
for the kind words! SO glad you are here, and your blog is great!!! You
know, I 'follow' quite a few, shall we say, 'female-oriented' blogs, and
ya know? I have learned some valuable stuff over the last year
regarding ladies! And y'all know full well dudes need all the info they
can get regarding understanding the VERY fairer gender!! :-) So thanks
to you, Susan, and many other 'lady bloggers' out there - ya know who
you are!!!<br /><br />Betsy: Well, SassyGinger actually found that one... I
just 'posted' it here for the benefit of PinkGinger... I am here as the
official 'GingerMediator'! And yes, the green is devastating to me...
it's my favorite color, and it WORKS for Ginger, be it blonde or
brunette era! <br /><br />Well, thanks, all - hope everyone has a VERY
Gingery 2011 - Ginger's Hundreth Year!!! And I REALLY hope to get some
new stuff rolling on here...SOON! <br /><br />KIG, Y'all!<br />VKMfanHuey<br />---</div>

Well, Cary had his chances...dang it! That would have made a pretty
awesome Hollywood couple...guess they would have made more movies
together...which reminds me...I was watching part of the 'Philadelphia
Story', and, although it's real hard to picture anyone other than Kate,
wel...y'all KNOW I can place Ginger anywhere, anytime...and how cool
would it have been for her to be starring with Cary AND Jimmy? Well,
like ya say, tho, hopefully Gin and Cary had a great friendship /
relationship / whatever... <br /><br />Lauren: Hiya! Great to hear from you, Beeje! hope you had a great holiday season! <br />Yes,
I think I always envision any dress which isn't obviously black or
white as being some shade of blue...the 'grayscale' deal, most
likely...as shades of gray tend to lean towards blue, especially in the
older movies - I was watching one the other day, and a particular scene
which was at 'night', had a MAJOR 'blue hue' to it - then the next scene
was pure B/W... kinda weird. <br />Hey - hope everything is going well in Westwood... keep me posted!</div>
