I knew very little about this movie and only recently saw it for the first time (thankstcm) and thoroughly enjoyed most of it. Whether chirping, going for laffs, or getting into heavy drama, Dodo Day is always a joy to watch.
She sure was in this film, portraying a put-upon cutie pie. Her songs, all the Fain-Webster songs in this flick was first rate, but none of them even came close to becoming a hit. The ballads were pretty, and the upbeat tunes were fun.
Adding to the delight of this movie was Bob Cummings, underrated as a comic actor. He did some serious stuff for Hitchcock who, reportedly, was not too fond of him).
Nancy Walker and Eddie Foy Jr. (one of the 7 littles) were great fun but, for me, the most fun was every time Phil Silvers was on screen. On television his 'Bilko' was funnier than most of today's junk. Every breath, expression and utterance are classic comedy. Incidentally, the second funniest TV show of that blessed decade was "Car 54, Where Are You?" Where will you be when this delightful movie shows up again? In front of your teevee - lucky you.
