I just love this movie! Red Skelton has always been one of my favorites, and Miss Powell's dancing is fabulous. My family's favorite part of this movie, however, is VIRGINIA O'BRIEN! Known for her deadpan facial expressions, she outdoes herself while singing the song Poor You. (Pay attention to the lyrics - so funny!) We have to rewind this part of the movie several times just because she is so ADORABLE! And the reactions by Bert Lahr are priceless. The music is good, the plot okay, but who cares? Miss Powell is gorgeous and the love story is cute. And it's a treat to see a young Frank Sinatra. One of my favorites.
