Take Her, She's Mine is a 1963 American coming-of-age comedy film, starring James Stewart and Sandra Dee and based on a 1961 Broadway comedy written by the husband-and-wife team of Henry and Phoebe Ephron. The film was directed by Henry Koster with a screenplay written by Nunnally Johnson. It features an early film score by prolific composer Jerry Goldsmith. The character of Mollie, played by Elizabeth Ashley on Broadway and in the film by Dee, was based on the Ephrons' 22-year-old daughter Nora Ephron. The supporting cast features Robert Morley, John McGiver and Bob Denver. In the film, a Californian lawyer happens to be an overprotective father to his teenage daughter. When she starts her college studies, her letters to him mention her beatnik friends and her conversion into an activist. The concerned father travels to Paris.
