Avis à la une
Another serious problem is the professor's daughter, Peggy (Diana Lynn). It seems she is married but no one knows it. Why does she keep it a secret? Because her new husband is a star football player (Rock Hudson)....and the Professor HATES football players as he doesn't see them as serious students. Not knowing she's taken, Mrs. Fielding's son (Charles Drake) is actively pursuing Peggy...until Peggy's sister, Susan, takes up with the young man. So what's to come of all these folks with romance in the air?
This is a cute family comedy that Hollywood did so well in this era. With films like "Life With Father", "On Moonlight Bay" and "Peggy", it's easy to enjoy the genre--as the movies are fun, well written and nice, light comedies. "Peggy" is a sweet and enjoyable film...made more so because of so many nice performances.
By the way, when you see Lynn playing the piano you can be sure it was really her, as she was a concert-quality pianist in real life. Also, Hudson's character is nicknamed 'Scat'. Scat is another word for excrement....hardly a moniker most folks would want! Why didn't any of the crew or cast say anything about this ill-chosen name?!
Coburn and the daughters have just moved to Pasadena after he retired after years of teaching history at Ohio State. Lynn regrets leaving Ohio and halfback Rock Hudson mainly because they were secretly married. What Lynn finds out is that Rock left her something to remember him by.
Peggy has a wonderful cast of familiar character players all doing their shtick. It's Coburn who bellows his way through the film as the lovable tyrant of a father. Wonder why he never did Life With Father. Coburn however is evenly matched by Charlotte Greenwood as his ever helpful neighbor who has a son in Charles Drake who takes a liking to Barbara Lawrence.
After 70 years Peggy holds up well as family entertainment reflecting a more innocent time than our's.
