There is nothing really the matter with this technicolor musical except that it follows too exactly the formula laid down for all technicolor musicals.

This is one of those Hollywood rarities, a film musical that offers topnotch entertainment. One of the big reasons is singer Doris Day. She's the most refreshing, completely captivating little minx you've ever seen in a long while.

A completely adequate variation on "A Star Is Born", with a few notable qualities. One, it's nice to see Doris Day in a movie where she isn't constantly made out to be a prudish spinster and she actually has a rational person's hairdo. Two, there's a bizarre and completely gratuitous Easter musical number that mixes animation and live action so Bugs Bunny can make a cameo.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

One of the most dull, and uninteresting musicals I've ever seen. I thought it was impossible for any musical to be boring, but this film proved me wrong. It has it's moments but overall, it is completely pointless. I realized halfway through the film that I could not care less about any of these drab characters and whether or not they succeeded in the end. It's pointlessly overlong and I felt like it would never end. The best part about this movie besides Bugs Bunny was the end, because that meant I could leave.
