Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer played the love struck couple. Both were well into their thirties at the time; the characters were 18 and 16. I've never seen the film; I think I would truly cringe at such casting. Ah, the magic of film! ;-)

According to the documentary on him that TCM has shown recently, Howard himself thought it was a bit ridiculous. Still, the movie is better than you might think, as long as you know what to expect. And Edna May Oliver and Andy Devine are great.
