Jules Dassin directed Young Ideas, a romantic comedy starring Susan Peters, Herbert Marshall and Mary Astor.
The romantic affair of Josephine “Jo” Evans (Mary Astor) and Professor Michael Kingsley (Herbert Marshall) is not approved of by Evan’s two children.
They try to disrupt the relationship with salacious incidents taken from their mother’s fiction books, presenting them as true things their mother has done, hoping Kingsley would be displeased.
