A dull musical, as dull as the Pasternak musicals at MGM.
20 February 1999 | by (San José, Costa Rica) – See all my reviews

A very dull musical, not comparable with what director Sidney Lanfield had made at 20th.Century Fox in the thirties. No wonder this was his last picture. An example of the difference between what the Freed unit and the Pasternak unit were doing at MGM at the time. Of course, Esther Williams was as beautiful as ever.
