Director Henry Koster
Awards? -- nominated for best picture at Academy Awards
cast: Deanna Durbin; Binnie Barnes; Ray Milland Alice Brady; Charles Winniger
sez says -- Durbin is INTRODUCED in this film and she is a talented young woman of 14 -- I don't care at all for the style or stuff she sings -- but her comedic timing is right on. This is a story of 3 sisters who try to stop their father from marrying a new woman (evil money hunter--with an even more evil mother egging her on) so their parents can be reunited. It has some story twists that might not be expected.but it all ends up exactly as you imagine it will. It contains mistaken identity, singing where they it can be fit in, good butlers and helpful cops: an entirely absurd story that is typical stuff for the 1930s (Grade C-)

THREE SMART GIRLS not only introduced a young Deanna Durbin to the film going public, but also gave Henry Koster his first chance at directing a film in the USA. The film was a smash hit and even today, THREE SMART GIRLS has lost none of its charm! Five Stars from the DEANNA DURBIN DEVOTEES.
