| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film was made as an excuse to show off Jane's anatomy. |
| User ReviewPaul DReminds me allot of "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" because of the Cruise, the Musical Numbers,Two Girlfriends who would do anything for each other, Costumes,& the Switching of Identity.This time she is not in the shadow of Marilyn Monroe, so in this she's the one you can't keep your eyes off.The Story, about an Oil Heiress(Jane Russel) that just wants to be loved for herself , not her financial assets. So She pretends to be traveling as a Model for a Dress Designer(Mary McCarty), & the Dress Designer as her.Much Fun Chaos to go around.I loved it almost as much as "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" |
| User ReviewAdam RGaudy, loud and filled with the silly conventions of rom-coms but Jane looks spectacular. She's saucy and sly draped in one eye popping creation after another. The supporting cast is rather thin but Mary McCarty is fun as a childhood friend of Jane's turned couturier. Look quick about an 3/4 of the way through and you can catch a glimpse of Kim Novak in her wordless screen debut as a model. |
| User ReviewJoe SDon't know what they were thinking when they went 3D with one ,but by doing so they took what could have bedn a 3 star romcom and turned it int a 2 star dud. |
