Review
Newlyweds Bob and Mary are headed for a happy marriage and sex life because their parents were so gosh-darn healthy with them when they were little, teaching them about sex and all. This 50s film is actually a great snapshot of adult attitudes toward teen sexuality midcentury. Mary's growing up years are focused on more than Bob's, but of course parents were generally more anxious about their daughters' budding sexuality than their sons. A real 50s time capsule.
