Susan Slept Here
Christmas is the best time to cheat because you already have gifts to make up for it.
That's why it makes sense for the screenwriter in this romantic comedy to have a holiday affair.
On Christmas Eve Oscar winner Mark (Dick Powell) is visited by the Vice Squad, who have brought him a 17-year-old runaway, Susan (Debbie Reynolds), as inspiration for his new script about delinquency. But when Mark learns that Susan will be jailed until 18, he marries her. Their abrupt nuptials however don't sit well with Mark's fiancée (Anne Francis), his US Senator father-in-law, or the press.
If the comedy were as risqué as the romance than this 1954 adaptation of the stage-play wouldn't be as creepy as it is. But with little else to offer besides the illicit affair, this Techicolor romp is pure trash.
Besides, when you marry a 17-year-old you have to pay for their University. Yellow Light
