The three smart girls of the title are adorable teenage sisters - played by
Deanna, Nan Grey and Barbara Read who live in a lovely European lake house with their mother (
Nella Walker). One day they read in the newspaper that their estranged father (now living in New York as a prominent investment banker) plans to remarry. So the girls travel across the pond to find him - and break up the relationship with his gold-digging girlfriend (
Binnie Barnes) so their parents can be reunited again.
The fun of the movie is watching the girls' crazy schemes. Lots of screwball hijinks.
Co-starring
Charles Winninger as the father,
Alice Brady, Ray Milland, and Mischa Auer.
