After extracting a promise from him to make her the star of the show, Nanette turns to her wealthy uncle (S.Z. Sakall) for the money.

Tea For Two is saddled with a ridiculous plot that only gets worse as it gets acted out.

Bright and breezy musical , where Doris Day shines with excellent support from Gordon Mac Rae and Gene Nelson. The singing and dancing is dazzling. The enjoyment index is high. There are sweeet and funny scenes all throughout the film.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Warner Bros. semi-remake of NO, NO NANETTE is a hodgepodge of songs from the hit show, plus other old tunes; everything is pleasant and uninspiring.

A light fluffy Doris Day technicolour remake of the Broadway musical No No Nanette. The only strange thing about this film is that for a film that is set in 1929, everyone looks like they stepped out of 1950, from hairstyles to costumes.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It's light and enjoyable, such as most Doris Day films. The title song is the brightest spot of this movie. This is the kind of movie you watch with the family, or if you're bored and need something to cheer you up. A nice little gem.

Not Doris Day's best but seeing her smile, sing and dance makes up for the ridiculous plot! Eve Arden is the other highlight!
