That Hagen Girl was an American film released in 1947. It starred Shirley Temple and Ronald Reagan. It was produced by Warner Bros..
The plot revolves around small town teenager Mary Hagen (Temple) who gossips believe is an illegitimate daughter of former resident and lawyer Tom Bates (Reagan) and is frequently treated badly due to this rumor. Gossip intensifies when Bates moves back into town and begins a romance with Hagen's favorite teacher (Lois Maxwell). There are hints that he is the real father of Hagen.
The movie was included in the popular 1978 book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time. The authors of the book report that almost all prints of the film mysteriously disappeared from various film storage facilities and television stations as Ronald Reagan was becoming a prominent political figure. The film resurfaced in the 1990s with showings on Turner Classic Movies. Reagan considered it his least liked role.[1]
