Ask Any Girl
Meg Wheeler felt stifled in her small hometown where she's just graduated from college, so she comes to New York intent on broadening her horizon—and by that she means finding a husband. She moves into a boarding house in Manhattan that's filled with girls, most of them just as eager as Meg to find the ideal man.
Meg has a unique ability to invent plausible statistics. "According to statistics," she used to tell her parents and anyone who would listen. However, when Meg tries her homemade statistics on the mathematically inclined Miles Doughton, head of an advertising firm, the system fails. Meg is fascinated by Miles' younger brother Evan. When she looks at him, she feels "like a marshmallow over an open fire." Miles decides to give her a hand in snaring Evan. As Meg and Miles try to create the perfect woman for Evan, Meg realises the best way to broaden her horizon is to be true to herself.
Firmly set in the late 1950s, this romantic comedy has a lesson for all of us.
