If you think too much this movie isn't going to please. But, if you want to escape that whole trap you may find some varied entertainment here. Think of this loosely as a damsel in distress story set up for numerous musical numbers that are quite good with some great comic relief.
Gail Storm is Carol Lawrence who is down on her luck. You instantly like Carol because Gail is so "girl next door" innocent but alluringly beautiful. And beauty can sing too, making her a fit for this musical comedy. While the story is anything but interesting, it is a just serviceable hanger for the much better music and comedy. In fact this movie should be a solid 6.5 for it's entertainment value. A fun watch and a fair colorized version to boot showing a little of the music and glamor of a great period (post WW II) in which there was class and great expectations.
