Films like The Flirtation of Girls.

The Flirtation of Girls (1949) reads as Cosy, kinetic, gentle comedy / musical, grounded in texture. Redemptive, intimate, tender. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
