The 19 Year Old Dorothy Dandridge, 10 April 2002
Author: The Novelist from London, England

Although Abbott and Costello were watchable, this somewhat disposable film provided the 19 year old Dorothy Dandridge the opportunity to act alongside of them. She piled in a lot of celebrity films on her c.v., and was very lucky by every stretch of the imagination.
