This movie may have faired a lot better minus Dan Dailey. He looks and comes off as Herman Munsters loser brother. What a hunk of cheese. I never understood how or why he was ever in movies or on tv. Bullwinkle had more talent and persona than Dan Dailey plus Bullwinkle wasn't a reputed cross dresser (look it up folks). Where was Donald O'Connor when they were casting the male lead? Where was Bullwinkle?
As for the movie, great color, Betty Grable is lovely as always, David Wayne s likeable character and Jane (Mrs. Knows Best ) Wyatt is ok in her role. Mitzi Gaynor looks like a Jr. High School student busting out at the top with thick ankles but no threat to any intelligent adult but in a short time she would outgrow that. The title, the storyline, the musicality and dancity dance dance dance makes one wonder what this movie is trying to be. Given the era of which it was made, you have to keep an open mind to the ridiculous plot. These people had no right to raising children, they had their first adopted child taken away while they were busy with their show . Then all of a sudden the adoption agency approves them for a brand new baby, they get the black market baby with so little concern and then Betty Grable turns out to be expecting. Talk about irresponsible parenting? This movie and It's message is disgusting. Did I mention Betty Grable is lovely as always? I knew I did but I wanted to end this review with something nice to say and that's it brother.
