The Major and the Minor (1942)






The Major and the Minor, released in 1942 by Paramount Pictures; directed by Billy Wilder (his directorial debut). Starring Ginger Rogers, Ray Milland, Robert Benchley, Rita Johnson, Diana Lynn, and Norma Varden. After her client makes a pass at her, Susan Applegate quits her job as a scalp massager and decided to leave New York City and return home to Iowa. Upon arriving at the train station, she discovers she has only enough money to cover a child's fare, so she disguises herself as a 12 year old girl. When a suspicious conductor catches her smoking, she takes refuge in the compartment of Major Philip Kirby, who, believing she is a frightened child, agrees to let her stay with him until they reach his stop.
