For her 19th (or 18th ,who cares?) birthday,a girl whose daddy is a millionaire and who has everything money can buy asks for a swing orchestra as a present ,namely the famous Ray Ventura et ses collégiens; this movie,unlike other Boyer's musicals ("prends la route" ) ,has no screenplay ,unless the final kidnapping counts ; this is succession of syrupy songs and instrumentals by the band bought by dad .Gisèle Pascal is not Danielle Darrieux ,and her acting is almost unbearable ; Jeanne Fusier-Gir as the reasonable holier-than-thou housekeeper (The swing is music for savages!) and Henri Salvador save something from the wreckage .
Docked one star for an absolutely appalling scene of the costume ball ,which is racist and makes the user push the fast forward button.
