  Margie, I have been waiting to see this film since childhood and I could not remember the title but I kept it in my memory in hopes of finding such a film. I saw "Margie" back when I was a little girl and could not remember who or what happened in the end of the film. But one important clue I could recall is that of a young girl, who fell on the ice and her bloomers slipped off and the embarrassment on her face said it all. And after all these years, I finally got to see the film that I longed to watch and have searched for many years. Jeanne Crain is a wonderful and beautiful actress and her portrayal of Margie, as an intellectual young girl with a crush on the new teacher is convincing and delightful. Thank You TCM for airring the film of my childhood.

  I am a huge fan of Jeanne Crain. Some of my favorite movies by this great star are: Margie Apartment for Peggy Pinky and People Will Talk. I am hoping that Margie and Apartment for Peggy will be available on DVD. It would be wonderful to see a day of Jeanne Crain air soon on TCM.

  My sister and I love the movie, MARGIE, with Jeanne Crain, and we would love to see it again on TCM. Is there some way you could resurrect this movie? I know it is old, but a beautiful story about a lovely teenager in love with her teacher, and the story keeps us guessing who it is she marries until the very end. A great wholesome movie. Please play SOON!!

  A good actress, a beautiful woman and a fine human being. I am writing a story and using her as a face and person to help me write. I have emailed to a relative of her and she was some kind of woman. I wish I had known her.

  Jeanne Crain was a very beautiful and underrated actress. I absolutely love her in Margie, but she is good in anything I've watched her in.

  I have been a fan of Jeanne Crain ever since I saw her in 1945 in "State Fair". As a kid I was forced to go see the film but fell in love with her immediately. Have seen all of her films and think she is a very underrated actress. Most of her films have not dated at all and it is a pity they are not shown more often. She would have been in "All About Eve" had she not become pregnant again. It's fascinating to think how diferent that great film would have been with the initial intended stars: Claudette Colbert and Jeanne Crain. I'm sick of hearing that a black actress should have been cast in "Pinky". As talented as they were, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, etc. could never have passed for white. They needed a major star and Crain was it and she did very well for the studio and director Kazan. The studio and Zanuck thought so highly of her in 1950 that they would not loan her out for "Quo Vadis" or to Paramount for "Carrie". Her career should have lasted much longer than it did but she was a major star from 1944 until 1957 when she made "The Joker is Wild" in which she gave a very tender and moving performance. Her films after that were poor and sporadic but seven children kept her more than busy. TCM should try to find and show "Winged Victory", "Margie" (a real neglected classic), "Centennial Summer" (Crain and Darnell unbelieveably beautiful in this), "The Fan" (a flop at the time but a film that has improved with age), "Apartment for Peggy" (another neglected film that has never been shown on TV in a decent print) and "The Model and the Marriage Broker" (a great Cukor film with a terrific performance from Thelma Ritter that needs rediscovering).

  I've loved all of Jeanne Crain's movies. My favorite has been, "Margie." It was during my teen years that I saw it and I was captivated by it because it was about first love experience. I've waited for it to show on Turner Classics but it didn't happen. I also tried to find the DVD. I then tried the web site and was so thrilled when I finally after all these years found my special movie. Please show it on TCM,It's such a wonderful film!

  I've seen most of her movies. My particular favorite was Centennial Summer. I believe it's not shown because it's not politically correct. My reason for loving it is the escape and beauty of it. She would be remembered more,but seven children and not enough quality scripts were our lost.

  I love Jeanne Crain in everything she has done. I love her quick wit, her beauty, and her many talents. My favorite of all times is Apartment For Peggy. I look all the time for it to show on TCM with no luck. Please dig this one out of the archives and show it a couple of times.
