1945 A Warner Bros. First National Production Produced by William Jacobs Directed by Frederick de Cordova Written by Jo Pagano from a story by Harlan Ware Photographed by Carl Guthrie Music by H. Roemheld 86 minutes Starring Joan Leslie, Robert Hutton; with Dolores Moran, Harry Davenport, Rosemary DeCamp, Robert Lowell, Arthur Shields, Craig Stevens; and Don McGuire, Dick Erdman, Robert Arthur, Johnny Miles Ira Enright (Robert Hutton) and Patsy (Joan Leslie) are only teenagers when they get married. Immature and each unwilling to compromise, they quarrel and break up. Ira, now a captain in the Air Force, meets an old pal of Sally's (Dolores Moran as the nasty Patsy) in Bombay, where the latter is performing as a U.S.O entertainer. From her he learns that Sally has put their child up for adoption. On eighteen day's leave in the U.S., Ira confronts his former wife and enlists the help of a kindly old judge in an attempt to get his son back. Joan Leslie was cast against type as Sally, who, among other things, places her career ambitions ahead of her marital obligations and commits a cardinal sin by giving up her baby. Interestingly, her dream of becoming an actress goes belly up too. This then in contrast to every other part assayed by Joan at Warners is a young woman who knows defeat. In an article published in 1946, Joan rated Too Young to Know with The Hard Way as the kind of good dramatic material she hoped to get more of as she matured as an actress. Definitely worth checking out. Recommended. Pic #1 Favorite Joan Leslie Film Select your favorite Joan Leslie film here.
