It's the "It" story.
4 May 2004
When I (at age 16) first saw "Bachelor Mother" at Radio City Music Hall in its 1939 original release in New York, I had only heard of Clara Bow as the "It" girl, but had not seen "It" (the title of her very popular 1927 silent movie). But I did (at age 36) see "Bundle of Joy", the musical version remake of "Bachelor Mother". But when I finally did (at age 79) see "It" on Turner Classic Movies, I recognized it immediately as the identical story. Department store girl falls for the boss (store owner's son) who ignores her. She finds someone's baby but everyone believes it's hers. Including boss and his parents. They all fall in love with the baby, and then they all finally end up falling for Clara/Ginger/Debbie. Ask Robert Osborne why there are no other comments about this (including his)? Am I the only one who noticed?
