Title: Simply Fun
Review: Judy Foster (Jane Powell) has a happy teenage life. Her boyfriend Oogie (Scotty Beckett) is a bandleader at her school and his sister Carol (Elizabeth Taylor) is her best friend. Her father (Wallace Beery) and mother have a great relationship. However, to make himself seem irresistable, Oogie stands Judy up at a dance. The plan backfires and she brings an older man named Stephen Andrews (Robert Stack) for her date. She then toggles between Oogie and Stephen, although Carol has eyes for Stephen as well. On top of it all, Judy suspects her father is cheating when she mistakes his dance teacher (Carmen Miranda) for his mistress.This movie is strictly fun and nothing more, but with such a great cast, how could you complain? The girls are absolutely beautiful and obviously talented. Powell sings several songs including the memorable "It's a Most Unusual Day." Miranda is much more subdued here than in most of her movies, and therefore is more tolerable. She has a few numbers too.
