Movie Info

This tuneful comedy centers on a mother's reminiscence of her wild time as a 1920s teenage flapper. Margie is first seen fully grown telling her stories to her own teen-age daughter. Back then, Margie was a typical adolescent, crazy about boys and an expert on the day's fashions.

Critic Reviews for Margie

Has there ever been a movie more in tune with the world of a girl's room? King understands that witnessing the heroine's private rituals is as close as we'll get to going inside Margie's mind.
