That Certain Age is a 1938 American musical film directed by Edward Ludwig and starring Deanna Durbin and Melvyn Douglas.

[3] Based on a story by Aleen Leslie (Wetstein) that was adapted by F. Hugh Herbert, the film is about a dashing reporter who returns from covering the Spanish Civil War and is invited to spend time at his publisher's home, where his adolescent daughter develops a crush on him.

Distributed by Universal Pictures, the film received Academy Award nominations for Best Music and Best Sound Recording.

Meanwhile, Bill offers the house to reporter Vince Bullit, who intends on finishing an article in peace and quiet.

Alice finally gives up her crush and is allowed to take over the part in the show when Mary Lee becomes ill. Deanna Durbin made the film when she was fifteen.

"There will be two boys instead of one and Miss Durbin will indicate a preference for one of them, a good, substantial lad instead of the wealthy, somewhat spoiled youngster.

The studio will not allow, naturally, anything resembling a mature romance for the star, one reason being that her vast audience of children over the country do not like it, being prone to smack their lips in derision at the screen.
