Synopsis by Hal Erickson. Young Ideas is a deliberately "small" MGM feature designed as a trial balloon for up-and-coming director Jules Dassin. Hardly in the league of Dassin's later Naked City, Rififi or Never on Sunday, the film nonetheless satisfies within its own modest limits.
Young Ideas (Jules Dassin, 1943) 3/10 Corny comedy that relegates both Herbert Marshall and Mary Astor to the stable of supporting actors and to add insult to injury typecasts the latter (who had won an Oscar just two years before) as the perennial mother to a growing stable of young and future stars at MGM.
