| User ReviewBreen PWonderful film. The play between Bing and Mischa is hilarious. A Must See. |
| User ReviewMichelle SI love this movie, Bing Crsby and Joan Blondell are awesome in it. Mischa also adds his own crazy charm. |
| User Reviewmonsieur rA very sentimental, and contrived movie. Crosby is charming as usual, and the romance is predictable, but I sort of liked it. |
| User ReviewMichael TCute, far fetched comic musical with Bing and Joan making a fine couple. There is one amusing and impressive number that takes place in a late nite diner, as these things do in old time musicals, that is a highlight of the movie and Bing is in fine voice. A very pleasant diversion. |
| User ReviewSV GFrom 1939 and the silver screen comes this classic Crosby flick co-starring Joan Blondell. About a couple who keep having to postpone their own wedding plans. Just as they think they may be able to finally get married, he finds himself quite by happenstance in care of a baby. Lots of movies like this one - but it does have it's charm & the kitchen choregraphy in the musical number in the scene in the Skillet Cafe was a lot of fun to watch. |
