      Audience Member Good music, pleasant leads and Oscar Levant being Oscar Levant add up to an enjoyable diversion. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member In my opinion, the only real point to this movie was to get Dan Dailey back into show business after the war, and, of course, to showcase his singing and dancing. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but with the mediocre acting and humdrum story, that's about all there was, and not even all that much of it. I like old movies, and I thought this was average at best. The number at the beginning was a ton of fun though! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
