This is basically a bad movie with a few good moments.
It starts with one of the good moments: Powell singing the great song "It's a Most Unusual Day". Then it starts to go downhill.
Wallace Berry, whom I liked in so many earlier movies, looks like he has been brought out of formaldehyde for this movie. He looks terrible, he acts terribly. He is, in short, terrible.
Robert Stack is also ill at ease as the handsome dreamboat. He doesn't look like a dreamboat, and he doesn't look comfortable in this movie. Can you blame him?
Elizabeth Taylor, a truly great actress, is miscast here as a teenage vamp. When she made Cleopatra years later she looked more comfortable in the part, but it was still a bad fit.
Powell plays her usual cheerful teenager. But this time it's poorly written, and she only gets one good song.
I don't understand who went to see these movies. They just aren't very good. They are like poor imitations of Deanna Durbin pictures.
