A RKO musical starring Jane Powell, Clift Robertson, and Kay Ballard, I really wanted to like this old-fashioned movie about a San Diego girl engaged to three men. But other than a few nice - if forgettable - numbers, and shots of the San Diego ferry, its a complete bust. Powell has short blond hair and some garish-looking outfits. Robertson isn't anyone's idea of a musical star and the comedy isn't really that funny. It sorta drags on and on. Like some other Wide Screen 50s Musicals the dancing seems remote and unexciting.
Summary: No forgotten gem, I suppose Jane Powell fans might like it. I didn't.
Rating 2 of 4.
