7/10
Original Script?
30 July 2021
This is an enjoyable bit of nostalgia but to call it an original script is nonsense. The first 20 minutes are so closed to Fox's "Orchestra Wives" it borders on plagiarism. Even the bus that leaves Jeanne Crane in the arms of Dailey is the same that left Ann Rutherford in the grips of George Montgomery.

The score is fun, but written in 1940s Style - not 192Os.

Dailey's dancing is delightful. Crane is beautiful. Levant is sufficiently sarcastic, and it's always fun to see and hear Percy Kilbride.

The plot gets more interesting after the market crash.

One of the musical highlights is Oscar performing an excerpt from Concerto in F.

This is enjoyable fun.
