Ah, foolishness! 'Summer holiday', 23 August 2006
4/10
Author: leslie04 from United Kingdom

Ah, foolishness! 'Summer holiday' coarsened the original play and its 1935 screenplay, now revised, while the songs were hardly of Rodgers and Hammerstein quality. Arthur Freed who hoped to match his previous period family film musical, 'Meet me in St Louis', had a hard time with this one. Principal photography ended in 1946 but retakes, editing and shelving lasted until 1948.

Still there were charming moments, stylish use of Technicolor and a good cast, just barely a plot. 'What was the plot?' i asked myself after seeing this. I watched this to see Marilyn Maxwell and Mickey Rooney together again after id seen 'Off Limits', but she was barely on screen for 10 minutes.
