However, that is also part of the comedy of the film. Granted, even without makeup and with her hair in pigtails, Rogers does not look 12. I loved watching Ginger assemble her little girl outfit in the bathroom of the train station. Ginger Rogers can't afford an adult train fare to Iowa, so she disguises herself as a pre-teen, and from there the film progresses into one long funny con-game. She demonstrated a real knack for comedy here, in Billy Wilder's first job of direction. Ginger Rogers was lucky in that she wasn't pigeonholed into being a specific type of character and that she can play a variety of characters in different roles.
