Eddie Tayloe's grandfather leaves him six thousand dollars and the money belt it came in, freeing Tayloe to leave his dull newspaper job in Texas and move to New York to become a playwright. Along the way, his car breaks down and a girl walking along the highway asks for a lift. It turns out she's a nice girl, named Perry, running away from a job at a gasoline station. Soon they're off to New York together, but part ways once they arrive. Time passes and Eddie is failing to sell his play; Perry is failing to find a job. Odd circumstances, involving an old pickpocket named Mandy, bring them together again. Three starchy sisters renting a room, a bartender named Mike, and a sleepy old immigrant running a mechanical menagerie all play parts in this romantic comedy.

WBasically a story about two Texans trying New York life and falling for each other instead, that's sunk by the wooden performance of the lead, Guy Madison, who could be outdone by Ken doll sealed in wax. In the background with little to do are Margaret Hamilton, Irene Ryan, and Florence Bates, stalwart performers who add life even when specifically asked not to (as they are here - but are still more interesting than the main story!). The ladies stuck on out-of-control mechanical horses might be one of the most curious set pieces ever filmed. Whatever were they thinking??? |
