THE MOON IS BLUE

1953
William Holden
David Niven

Two unrepentant rogues both compete to woo a mischievous young lady and lure her into their arms, as she whips up their fervor by claiming she's planning to remain a virgin until her wedding night. 

My review:
Very interesting turn of events that may suggests impropriety but never even gets near what the overview suggests. Pony-tailed young woman who displays refreshing naïveté and uncommonly refreshing forthrightness that frustrates the men but truly brings to light so much of what is seldom spoken aloud. It is in the refreshing speech that this move redeems itself. 
The plot thickens based on actions that look glaringly suspicious, but the innocence of the young woman defies each advance and every suggestion. 

"It's the good girls that men should be warned against."

"Just imagine, we only met yesterday. It only happens once in a blue moon."

Extras:
This movie was met with opposition as a scandalous storyline and even went to the Supreme Court to try to  halt the movie.
