This movie is so unremarkable it is almost remarkable just for that! Some averages songs, badly staged, some average to bad acting from a bunch of unknown boys - headed by the uncharming Tommy Dix, and an unwitty functional screenplay make this undemanding but unrewarding viewing.
On the positive side you can glimpse June Allyson ,Gloria De Haven and Nancy Walker in early screen roles. But only Walker is given anything interesting to do - she's funny as the ugly duckling, but the way the men in the film insult her is quite disturbing. Then there's Lucy - looking gorgeous and playing herself, although her presence and actions at a teen prom are hard to believe. If her lines had been funnier she may have made something of this film but...
The highlights are Harry James performances - very fine, and the moment where the jealous school girls almost tear Lucy apart - this moment is so vicious it almost makes this an interesting film!
