22% off (Sale price $15.59, Reg. Price $19.99) :: Unemployed Polly Parrish (Ginger Rogers) impulsively picks up a baby left at orphanage doors at Christmas. Everyone assumes the foundling is hers, including Pollyâs playboy ex-boss (David Niven), who offers her a job if sheâll live up to her maternal duties. A paycheck would be handy, so Polly complies. Then the bossâs tycoon dad (Charles Coburn) assumes the infant is his secret grandsonâ¦and things really spin out of control. Buoyed by Rogersâ irresistibly endearing performance, Bachelor Mother is one of those rarities, a brilliantly cast comedy where everything â plot, pacing and dialogue (thanks to Garson Kaninâs savvy direction and Norman Krasnaâs witty script) â is exactly, hilariously right.
