Küsse und verschweig mir nichts!

I didn't have high expectations for this film. I feared Shirley Temple as a teenager would be awkward. However, this movie was surprisingly entertaining! It was well paced, with a strong supporting cast. The plot twists were quite funny. Shirley plays Corliss Archer; She agrees to keep her brother's secret marriage underwraps, and winds up getting herself in a lot of trouble.

. I saw this movie one time, on TV. I was 12. That would have been around 1960. And I've never forgotten it. My mother and myself, and my younger sister, laughed through the whole thing til our sides hurt. It struck so close to home for all three of us. I've been looking for the thing to come out on tape all my adult life. But it doesn't matter when it comes out. As long as it does one day, I won't have outgrown it. .

KISS AND TELL with Shirley as Corliss Archer is the kind of family comedy rampant in the '40s and '50s--but what seemed mighty funny back then doesn't have quite the same punch today. In other words, all the material is slightly dated and the genuine laughs in the script by F. Hugh Herbert are few and far between.

Nevertheless, it's one of Shirley's most appealing performances as a teen-ager and she seems to be enjoying herself immensely. She has good support from Jerome Courtland, as an awkward neighborhood boy, and Walter Abel as her exasperated father and Katharine Alexander as his patient wife. I believe Shirley had already played Corliss Archer on radio and certainly had an affinity for this sort of role.

I recall enjoying it much more years ago. A recent viewing of the film left me much less impressed with the overall result. It seemed to be straining a bit hard for laughs and the material was very thin.

I was nine years old when I saw Kiss and Tell. I went to the morning movie and stayed until the last showing at 9:00 pm. I loved it so much that I didn't want to leave and kept saying,' wait until this part, then I'll leave.' Shirley Temple was a beautiful teenager. I remember that she had a kissing booth to help raise money for the war effort. The movie shows great community spirit in support of the soldiers that had gone off to battle. It was fun to see her go from a child to a teenager that I could identify with. Wanted to grow up and be like Shirley Temple. Would recommend this movie for family viewing! The other actors and actresses played wonderful supporting cast. Would love to see this movie out on a DVD!

Enjoyed this film immensely.

Good acting all round.

I wish it would come round on english telly.

Made me feel very happy.
