Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine Pleasant songs and lively dancing help to make up for a routine plot and occasional moments when the picture moves at much the rate of the heroine's barge. Oct 11, 2019 Full Review MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin The best features of the film are the songs and the dances which are cleverly treated, particularly in the final sequence where Kay and Dicky perform a really original and brilliantly executed tap ballet.

Audience Member Matthews is enjoyable but the screenplay leaves something to be desired. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member kind of surreal - fantastic sets, especially one very white large kitchen Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Not much of a plot and the songs are pretty corny but I love the quirky British humor in this musical and the dance numbers rival Astair and Rogers. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
