A Kiss for Corliss is a 1949 comedy film directed by Richard Wallace and written by Howard Dimsdale. It stars Shirley Temple in her final starring role as well as her final film appearance.

Plot
Corliss Archer (Shirley Temple) is an impulsive teenager who harbors a crush on notorious playboy Kenneth Marquis (David Niven), who has already been to the altar many times and to the boudoir many more. So moonstruck is she by Marquis (who barely acknowledges her existence) that Corliss begins writing down her imaginary romantic trysts with him in her diary. Naturally, the book falls into the hands of Corliss' parents (Tom Tully and Gloria Holden), who believe every word...especially when Marquis, evidently hoping to teach Corliss a lesson, "verifies" that the diary speaks the truth.[2]
