The son of a strict Navy officer falls for the daughter of a musical-comedy star.
I am a huge Donald O'Connor fan and have seen most of his movies. Donald in the early forties made several teen B-Musicals, this one being one of his best. Donald O'Connor's charm and personality really shine through in this film. It is packed with tons of really great songs and really fabulous dancing by O'Connor. He and Peggy Ryan, my favorite on screen duo, have great chemistry in this film. It is short on time and budget, but is still my favorite of his teen pictures and I highly recommend it to others.
