"No, No Nanette" is a dull little film--though it certainly didn't have to be. It has lots of likable supporting actors and should be a cute comedy, but it never stirred my interest. Because it isn't a particularly distinguished movie, I can understand how it slipped into the public domain.
Anna Neagel stars as Nanette. During much of the film, she's helping her uncle (Roland Young--playing a VERY typical sort of role for him) untangle himself from problems resulting from too much flirting. Although he doesn't seem to want another woman, he likes flirting and unless he can do something about these women, his marriage will be over, In the process of helping the uncle, Nanette meets a couple men who fall for her (Richard Carlson and Victor Mature).
The film isn't funny. And, the songs are pretty forgettable. I have rarely been this bored by a film that sure looked good. Much of it was the kooky style of comedy and much of it was that Neagel seemed to try a bit too hard to be a doofus. All I know is that poor writing made this one quite forgettable.
