Audience Reviews

Audience Member MGM musical starts out brightly but loses steam toward the end; Jane Powell and Vic Damone (in his film debut) introduce the Oscar-nominated song "Wonder Why?" and French star Danielle Darrieux is lovely and performs an amusing duet with Fernando Lamas to "We Never Talk Much." Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Pleasant bit of fluff with Wendell Corey surprisingly singing a few songs. The script makes little sense but is played sincerely by the cast, although a little more Una Merkel would have been welcome. Jane and Danielle Darrieux really do look like they could be mother and daughter. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member just ok romantic farce.
