Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

First teaming of Grable and Dailey, no Astaire-Rogers but the next best thing, and making the most of a nostalgic score ('Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey', 'Rolling Down to Bowling Green', 'You Do', 'Kokomo Indiana') as a pair of turn-of-the-century vaudevillains. Warm, colourful and a real charmer, despite tiresome complications latterly when the couple's eldest daughter grows up a snob ashamed of her background.
