steve d Pleasant but really dull. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The best movie song ever sung: In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review s r I'm a sucker for Crosby I guess. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member good late career directorial effort from master director, frank capra. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Frank Capra's comedy with music (the Oscar-winning "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening") is a pleasant diversion. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The first twenty minutes are interminably slow, with all momentum stalled by two seemingly never-ending musical numbers. Once that's out of the way, things settle down into a decent lighthearted comedy, with a fine performance from Crosby and the usual Capra addition of a little social commentary. Cut out all the song and dance stuff, which mostly feels tacked on, and you've got yourself something a little more like the old Capra. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
