What is a Miss goody two shoes?

[OKSooner]

That's a term originally coined by Cary Grant, if one recalls correctly, describing a young lady who was excessively prim and proper, moralistic and sexually repressed to the point of being rather cartoonish.

One doesn't really recall which Cary Grant movie it was or what actress was in the role of "Miss Goody Two-shoes" - Possibly Deborah Kerr... However, the character Mary Poppins, who admittedly never appeared in any movie opposite any character played by Cary Grant, does come to mind...
