| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostPoor musical, notable for sequences with Hazel Scott and the cowboy rope dance. |
| User ReviewGreg W64/100. Comedy/Musical/Romance. This is a loose remake of Buster Keaton's "Spite Marriage". Red Skelton develops a crush on showgirl Eleanor Powell, and she marries him out of spite when she is jilted by her fiance. Fair film, uplifted by Skelton's comic antics. Mildly entertaining with a few good songs. It's fun but nothing sensational. |
| User ReviewChristopher BThis MGM musical is one of Vincente Minnelli's worst films and, although it has some fine musical moments (Powell's rope dance, Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra playing the hit "Star Eyes," Lena Horne & Hazel Scott performing "Jericho") - the movie never recovers from the tired comedy shtick of Red Skelton and a recycled finale lifted from BORN TO DANCE. |
