Pretty much a "do I want to keep watching this thing?" type movie and a "the box says Debbie Reynolds is in it... so where is she ? Ahhhh finally !!! DEBBIE. 1951 and on the veritable threshold of stardom and immortality ! She eventually shows up after what seems like endless traveling through the countryside by a mismatched couple with no chemistry singing insipid songs at each other followed by a twelve year break in the story of these platonic lovers and then BOOM here is this delightfully energetic little girl/woman playing Marjorie Main's niece.
Imo, the story is pretty dumb. The songs are skippable. There are plot holes big enough for a Mack truck to drive trough. The "romantic"couple is not at all appealing BUT the scenes with Auntie and niece are worth a look just to see a star in the making.
The tag-line for the picture is "M-G-M's Singing TECHNICOLOR Romance!" Problem was that my copy was in glorious living black and white so that when I read some of the other reviews praising its color to the hilt I was confused. Public domain VHS copies, gotta love 'em.
