| User ReviewSam SI was quite impressed and delighted by this movie! Simple but cute plot, romantic but not one that a guy would despise. I give it a yes! |
| User ReviewHeidi BThis is such a funny classic movie, with the beautiful dancer vera allen, and with david niven and cesar romerro. its such a sweet romantic comedy, full of ckeekiness :) 5+ stars!! |
| User ReviewPrivate UIt's very funny and I love David Niven. If you like the plot the same story was used in a danish film called "Pigen og vandpytten" the to movies are almost identical exept for the cast. |
| User ReviewVianti MI never thought of watching oldish movie but since the title itself attracted me much, then after watching it; yes it is very attractive movie to see :))) Vera Ellen was wonderfully played Janet Jones who was accidentally involved in fake romance with millionaire BJ Bruno (who she thought Paul Tracey; an ordinary editor working for newspaper). Bruno fell in love completely with Jones at his first sight. He kept playing his role as "Paul Tracey". In the end she was fallen in love with him and didnt know he was the real Bruno til the end of her big show. Very cute and romantic plot, Vera Ellen's so talented ballet dancer. I wish I cud see this in real broadway. Love the dresses, costumes, very fashionably played and romantic :) Oh.. I love the stage too.. it was very pretty for 1951 era! And again.. for 1951? Those dresses and outfit was very fascinating and very very fashionable thing to wear!! I can't beliv myself 1951 got much better fashion than 2000-ish.. ;p |
| User Reviewros lThe best Romantic Comedy I have ever seen. David Niven is wonderfully cheeky and sweet. Enchanting. |
| User ReviewKrystal OI thought it said it was a musical but there was really only one song. Other than tha though it was a great movie. |
| User Reviewmary pUtterly surprised and charmed. It is a cute romantic comedy that also stars Vera Ellen. It is never too slapstick or too sappy...but it is funny or maybe amusing is the right word. It does start out a little slow, but David Niven is fantastic. |
| User ReviewLeah GAmusing comedy musical, some fair musical numbers. Good cast, especially Niven but the film is rather ordinary and unmemorable. Cute though. |
| User ReviewAshley YRather tedious, but 3 stars almost purely for the awesomeness that is David Niven. The Bruno staff, notably Mr Dodds, also went a long way in keeping my finger off the fast-forward button. |
| User ReviewGreg WNothing special- although I wish it was. Niven and Vera-Ellen dancing try to lift it a bit. |
