On Moonlight Bay	comment	A 1951 Jukebox Musical very loosely based on Booth Tarkington's Penrod books, directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Doris Day and Gordon MacRae.In 1910s Indiana, the Winfield family — comprised of parents George (Leon Ames) and Alice (Rosemary DeCamp), their children Marjorie (Day) and Wesley (Billy Gray), and their cook Stella (Mary Wickes) — move into a new house a mile and a half across town to be closer to the bank where George works. There, they meet the family across the street, particularly college senior William Sherman (MacRae). The film is told in a series of loosely-connected vignettes, though the driving plot thread is the blossoming romance between Marjorie and Bill.A sequel, By the Light of the Silvery Moon, was released in 1953. In the sequel, Marjorie and Bill face new challenges, including getting married. Meanwhile, George and Alice Winfield prepare for their wedding anniversary.

On Moonlight Bay / int_130436b9	type	Annoying Younger Sibling
On Moonlight Bay / int_130436b9	comment	Annoying Younger Sibling: Wesley. Dear God, Wesley. He regularly tries to sabotage Marjorie's dates and throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way. It backfires on him when he successfully sabotages one of Marjorie's dates with Hubert to get back at her, not realizing that she had been trying to get rid of Hubert herself.

On Moonlight Bay / int_20989d05	comment	Parents as People: George and Alice are loving and understanding parents, although occasionally George will forget that he also used to be a kid and he has a short temper while the worst Alice can get is insisting her daughter pad up her bustline.

Marjorie is a tomboy who learns to be more feminine, but is still better than Bill is at things like pitching baseballs or fixing cars. However, she disdains men who are too prissy, such as Hubert and Chester in the sequel.

The song is... "On Moonlight Bay."

Marjorie's mother Alice is seen giving her two powder puffs prior to her date, with the implication that she will use them to pad out her dress. Later Marjorie dances the two-step, causing them to fall out.

On Moonlight Bay / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: The Winfield's new kitchen has two double-hinged doors with no handles, meaning that people can enter or exit from either side of the door. Despite Stella's increasingly-desperate attempts to avoid it, people keep coming in through the door while she's carrying fine china or food to be served, causing her to drop it. On more than one occasion, she chooses not to go through one door (due to hearing someone on the other side), only to get smacked in the face with the other door.
