With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of people who'll be humming afterwards and romantics. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to Barefoot in the Park or How to Marry a Millionaire. The chemistry carries it.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Zips along, at 1 hr 18 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1946: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Stuffy amateur director Eddie Dolan decides to mount a show for the well-connected patrons of a posh country club. Eddie and his girlfriend, actress Ann Stallings, hope the production will launch their legitimate Broadway careers. But complications arise when Maxine Whitaker, daughter of a wealthy rival club owner, becomes romantically interested in charming Eddie.
