I don't think "Take a Chance" would have been a very good film without her, but with June Knight, it's truly godawful! Why? Well, this singing star has no discernable talent and her singing is frequent and terrible! The first number she sings she does impersonations of various singing stars. But they are all terrible...sort of like what you'd expect from a precocious six year-old when they are performing for their family! Perhaps she did this, however, because her regular singing voice is so bad! Regardless, each time she sang, I felt something dying inside me!!
As for the rest of the cast, they are not particularly great....mostly because there's not much plot here. Edwards and James Dunn are on hand to provide comic relief but there isn't much story and their routines seem, well, like routines. A few exceptions occurred, such as Cliff Edwards' cute surreal song about going to sea. Also, Lillian Roth isn't bad....though this is hardly a glowing endorsement.
Overall, this is a bad film....with musical numbers that are sometimes painful to listen to and not a lot of plot to fill in the gaps. Paramount really dropped the ball with this one!
