Three Smart Girls is a 1936 American musical comedy film directed by Henry Koster and starring Barbara Read, Nan Grey, Deanna Durbin, and Ray Milland. Written by Adele Comandini and Austin Parker, the film is about three sisters who travel to New York City to prevent their father from remarrying. They plot to bring their divorced parents back together again. The film was Durbin's screen debut and ushered in an eight-year era of successful Deanna Durbin musicals. Three Smart Girls inspired two sequels, Three Smart Girls Grow Up and Hers to Hold.
Famous quotes containing the word smart:
“The majority of persons choose their wives with as little prudence as they eat. They see a trull with nothing else to recommend her but a pair of thighs and choice hunkers, and so smart to void their seed that they marry her at once. They imagine they can live in marvelous contentment with handsome feet and ambrosial buttocks. Most men are accredited fools shortly after they leave the womb.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
