SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, try these.

The Major and the Minor poster 01

Movie / 1942 / Comedy

The Major and the Minor

Why this pick

A nimble, pre-Code-adjacent screwball setup with mistaken identity, an unusually self-possessed young heroine, and the same blend of romantic absurdity and adult comic sophistication.

The More the Merrier poster 02

Movie / 1943 / Comedy

The More the Merrier

Why this pick

Its wartime Washington setting, crowded-house complications, and warm romantic timing echo the breezy social chaos and affectionate screwball rhythm of The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer.

The Talk of the Town poster 03

Movie / 1942 / Comedy / Drama

The Talk of the Town

Why this pick

Cary Grant again brings buoyant charm to a romantic comedy that playfully collides law, propriety, and attraction, with Jean Arthur matching the film’s smart, light-footed tone.

His Girl Friday poster 04

Movie / 1940 / Comedy / Drama

His Girl Friday

Why this pick

For the pleasure of rapid-fire banter and Cary Grant’s irreverent romantic energy, this is a sharper, faster screwball comedy built around sparring equals and escalating complications.

The Lady Eve poster 05

Movie / 1941 / Comedy / Romance

The Lady Eve

Why this pick

A polished screwball romance full of verbal mischief, deceptive courtship, and glamorous comic reversals; it shares the original’s delight in characters outmaneuvering one another.
