Who kidnapped the story?
mark.waltz26 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is a below average B musical comedy that features mediocre songs, dated unfunny comedy and an unbelievable story involving the scheme of heiress Virginia Grey to get her hands on $63000 from stingy Uncle George Barbier to bail out nightclub owner boyfriend Donald Cook. The comedy provided by Pinky Lee (only known to most people from his name being dropped by Stockard Channing in "Grease" ) and Collette Lyons is like a square egg that just lays there and gets more rotten because it can't be cracked. Minus songs and comedy, its running time is about 35 minutes, and even with appealing second string stars like Cook and Grey in the leads, there's nothing to recommend. A bit of a gangster subplot doesn't even help raise this up a notch. Barbier is pompously funny with Ian Wolfe a delightful foil as his butler, hense a rating above 1.
