“This movie really lets you know that back in the 50u0026#39;s, they really knew how to make an excellent musical! The cast includes Donald Ou0026#39;Connor as Melvin, a small-time photographer working for u0026quot;Looku0026quot; Magazine. He turns his attention and camera to Judy LeRoy, a beautiful dancer who dreams of making it big one day, played by Debbie Reynolds. The songs in this film are wonderfully written and performed, including a very charming outdoor song and dance routine performed by Ou0026#39;Connor and the filmu0026#39;s youngest actress, 9 year old Noreen Corcoran, who brightens the many scenes sheu0026#39;s in, playing Judyu0026#39;s sister, Clarabelle, who seems to like to be involved in everything. (The songs have very clever lyrics as well!) Melvin seeks to win the hand of Judy, but her usual date, Harry Black (Richard Anderson), whou0026#39;s pretty much a square, is about to pop the question to the delight of Judyu0026#39;s dad, while her dad dislikes Melvin. Ou0026#39;Connnor and Reynolds are brilliant. Jim Backus adds some laughs also. The whole cast comes together to make this a delightful film, which is yet another great one that was overlooked by video u0026amp; DVD companies! A MUST SEE! Try your favorite movie channels.”
