Three Smart Girls Trilogy
Deanna Durbin shines in the Three Smart Girls trilogy, beginning with the 1936 original, in which she plays Penny Craig, a spirited teen who helps reunite her estranged parents. The 1939 sequel, Three Smart Girls Grow Up, follows Penny as she navigates her sisters' romantic troubles. In the final film, Hers to Hold (1943), Penny faces love and life during wartime. This charming series captures Durbin’s growth from a young starlet to a mature performer, blending humor, heart, and memorable music.
