This delightful and unpretentious musical version of the Rosalind Russell movie is NOT a movie adaptation of Russell's famous Broadway musical "Wonderful Town" but an original movie musical that in my opinion is better than "Wonderful Town." It features Bob Fosse in a supporting role and also --and more importantly--his first choreographic achievement, and an excellent one to boot. Another added plus is a terrific performance as actress, singer, and dancer from Janet Leigh. And it features great turns by Betty Garrett and (singing!) Jack Lemmon. Don't miss this one.
