| User ReviewKatie MI remeber this as a kid and I loved it. Kaye was a genious and will be missed. |
| User ReviewGreg Wa musical remake of harold lloyd's 1936 'milky way' which i prefer. |

Eve Arden is acerbic and terrifically droll, Vera-Ellen youthful, fresh and she dances like a dream, Fay Bainter all fractured dignity and Virginia Mayo, at the height of her beauty, sweet and charming. |
