Released just before the Hays Code became more strictly enforced, it dares to present the story of a young socialite who embarks upon a romance with an upstanding young doctor-in-training, and&#8230; <\/p>\n<p><strong>(sorry for mild spoilers)<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>&#8230; isn&#8217;t necessarily made to pay for her &#8220;sins&#8221;. What&#8217;s most fascinating about <em>Finishing School<\/em> is the way it daringly portrays the utter hypocrisy behind upper-class mores, which hold that as long as one isn&#8217;t &#8220;caught&#8221;, one can get away with just about anything; the goal is to avoid detection and public shame. One particularly well-handled scene shows Bondi glimpsing Dee arriving home after an outing with Mac, and hesitating as she clearly wishes she could pretend not to have seen what she just saw. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Bondi-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Bondi-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Bondi-1.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Bondi-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Bondi-1-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Bondi-1-360x270.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dee&#8217;s sin isn&#8217;t carousing; it&#8217;s falling in love with a lower-class man and daring to present it openly. <\/p>\n<p>Dee does a fine, sensitive job in the leading role:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Dee-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Dee-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Dee-2.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Dee-2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Dee-2-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Dee-2-360x270.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8230; and Cabot stands out as refreshingly natural in what appears at first to be a nominal supporting role (he&#8217;s first glimpsed wandering around a hotel room picking up after the partying socialites), but turns into a major romantic lead; one can easily see why Dee would fall for someone like him. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Love.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Love.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Love.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Love-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Love-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Finishing-School-Love-360x270.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rogers, meanwhile, is perfectly cast as Dee&#8217;s wisecracking roomie, and other young starlets &#8212; including Anne Shirley &#8212; do a fine job portraying young heiresses of various stripes.
