    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Served as the inspiration years later for Walt Disney Productions' The Parent Trap (1961), which also related the tale of estranged twins with different personalities who switch places to spend time with the father/mother they never knew.
    • Goofs
      Through most of the bus ride scene, Jimmy's handkerchief is in his breast pocket, but when he goes looking for it to wipe Stephanie's tears, it's in his hip pocket.
    • Quotes

      Stephanie Hale: [to Jimmy as she pretends to be Terry, thus not knowing the people around her] Of all the stupid, uncouth barbarians! Why, you're a menace to society, young man. You ought to be forcibly restrained!

      Jimmy: [to Kitty, in utter astonishment] She's slap-happy!

      Kitty: Maybe she's got anemia!

      Whitey: [gleefully correcting her] Amnesia.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits include the following: "and presenting The Wilde Twins (Lee and Lyn)"
    • Connections
      Referenced in The Parent Trap (1961)

    Enjoyable 40s teen film with great Lindy Hop sequences!
    Fun film a la THE PARENT TRAP.

    It's strong point is that it features 3 or more excellent Lindy Hop aka Jitterbug dance sequences done to big band Swing music by some of the best dancers around at the time.

    Jean Porter, alive and reasonable still at this writing, also had a nice Lindy sequence in TIL THE END OF TIME with Guy Madison.

    The Wilde Twins had a short career over at Metro.

    Jimmy Lydon was starring in the HENRY ALDRITCH series over at Paramount.

    Nice little MGM 'B" picture.

    The director, Harry Beaumont, had been directing MGM films since the silent era.
