I've always loved Ginger Rogers, but rarely saw any of the movies she made without Fred Astaire. This one, however, I'm happy I caught. The repartee between son Tim and Mary is priceless as these two unlikely characters begin to fall in love, much to their chagrin. Mary is a smart girl and understands completely what Timothy, Sr. is looking for, a way to get his family to pay attention to him. What better way to do that than by having a beautiful blond come live in your house. However, her basic goodness and sensitivity make it hard to lie to others. She sets the household straight in no uncertain terms and finds love in the end. The only repartee that rivals Mary and Tim is those that go on between Tim, his mother and his dizzy sister. What more can you ask for? Favorite line:
Tim, Jr.: You get my goat!
Mary: Where'd you get it in the first place?

You can't go wrong with this movie! d

Although I enjoyed this movie I could not give it 5 stars. This movie was made by the director of "My Man Godfrey" And since Godfrey is a 5-star movie, and this is not as good as Godfrey, I would have to give 5th Ave Girl one less star. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of Gregory La Cava High Society Romantic Screw Ball Comedies.

A pleasant, well written story. Walter Connolly and Ginger Rogers are in need of a change. Together they push buttons, twist knobs and make it happen. I'd buy it if it were'nt so rare.
