OK, so the plot is far fetched; but the songs are classic, the singing is great, the dancing is sometimes amazing, the stars are fresh and cheerful -- it's just a great hour and a half of enjoyment.
Early Doris Day shows why she was to become the biggest box-office draw of the mid '50s. Perfect pitch, perfect demeanour, perfect pertness -- a happy delight whatever your mood.
And, if for no other reason than Eve Arden's cut and thrust, which made me laugh out loud, literally, this is worth watching, and enjoying. They just don't write lines like that any more.
It is, as they say, what it is, and what it is is worth an 8.
