This musical remake of "Bachelor Mother" stars a vivacious (and pregnant with Carrie Fisher) Debbie Reynolds and serves to make the viewer wonder how costar Eddie Fisher could possibly have been as captivating is real life as the scandal sheets of the time would have us believe. He divorced Reynolds to marry Elizabeth Taylor, but his charisma is completely baffling if you judge by this film. The plot is based on the notion that Reynolds finds a baby and then is misunderstood to be the baby's mother. Wouldn't it have been fairly easy for a woman to demonstrate that she had never given birth? No matter, the movie is fun if you know the background of its stars, but the musical numbers-especially "All About Love" and "Worry About Tomorrow" are best in this musical without enough music.
