steve d Strong show, weak version. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a Donald O'Connor film start to finish. He steals the show here from Bing Crosby just as he does from Gene Kelly over in Singin' In The Rain. I'm surprised that they went with Jeanmaire, rather than someone like Cyd Charise. Bing's chemistry here with O'Connor is just as smooth as over in White Christmas with Danny Kaye. The formula is pretty similar. Hijinks ensue. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie wasn't not as good as I thought it would be. The two men were excellent and the role. The American woman break dancer her singing was a little pitching. The French woman was horrible bad dancing best singing and if she wasn't French and pretending to be her accent was horrible. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Bing & Donald O'Connor always make for a good time! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A disappointing flop with no real tie to the play at all. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Disappointing musical with Bing Croscy and Donald O'Connor. The songs are utterly forgetable and the weak plot is a head shaker. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
