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:
“Glorious the northern lights astream;
Glorious the song, when God’s the theme
Glorious the thunder’s roar:
Glorious hosanna from the den;
Glorious the catholic amen;
Glorious the martyr’s gore:
Glorious—more glorious is the crown
Of him that brought salvation down
By meekness, called thy Son;
Thou that stupendous truth believed,
And now the matchless deed’s achieved,
Determined, Dared, and Done.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
