Kids Say The Darnedest Things
Judy Clark wrangles with her older sister, disobeys her mother, and gets involved with burglar Frank Jenks and millionaire Roger Pryor in this rote but competently rendered comedy from PRC. Although the pratfalls are not rendered with an grace, they are certainly amusing.
Miss Clark suggests Betty Hutton in looks and behavior, that early icon of the hyperactive teenager, although her delivery of lines seems much more mechanical. Mr. Pryor was pretty near the end of his screen career. He would make five more movies in the same year as this one, then retire, to eventually become an ad executive.
Miss Clark's screen career would continue on for a couple of decades in a desultory manner. She had been born in 1924, would eventually marry twice and die in 2002 -- although not before playing Sophie Tucker in an episode of the BURNS & ALLEN show.
