- TriviaVera-Ellen's lifelong conflict with various eating disorders had culminated famously in high necklines to cover her emaciated state in both "Call Me Madam" (1953) and "White Christmas" (1954). However, by the time she made this film, she had returned to a normal weight, reflected in costuming that once again partially revealed her neckline.

Featured review
Ouch
I like a lot of the older movies, including B movies and less than stellar musicals. While this one had the Scottish scenery going for it, that's about all as far as I am concerned. Tried to go it, but just couldn't. Too many "ouchies." Vera-Ellen, while good in other things, was a bit painful to watch in this. Same for Tony Martin. The redhead was, to me, hard on the eyes and nerves. The lord character was lackluster.
Surprised at the comments of other reviewers that Cyd Charise should have had the female lead. Good grief. Get some proportion. While Tony Martin was married to Cyd Charise, there is a huge difference in their movie presence and draw. They don't cast parts to be cutesy.
Ms. Charise played and co-starred with major stars in top films. Mr. Martin never did. There's no comparison. This was way too low a production for Ms. Charise. While Mr. Martin enjoyed success as a recording artist, a strong actor, he wasn't. I didn't even care for his singing in this. Forget the acting, on anyone's part.
Definitely give this one a pass - as in pass up. Good performances can override a bad script/plot. That didn't happen here.
