Title: Best forgotten
Product review: This is one of the weakest musicals ever produced by MGM, leagues away from, say, American in Paris and Brigadoon. Gene Kelly, looking (oh, that wig) more like the dancers' father than lover, is saddled with a weak script that has him bickering, snarling, and bossing people about throughout the film. The girls in the story seem to be miscast, Kendall and Elg especially, and their lines are usually sappy in the extreme. The Cole Porter music is VERY minor and mostly embarrassing. The costumes are good, and the dancing is passable. All in all, this is a waste of time and money. An MGM musical that is best forgotten.
