Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Light-hearted Hollywood fairytale (adapted from Norman Corwin and Lucille Herrmann's radio play My Client Curley) has Broadway producer Grant looking for new talent after mounting three flops in a row, and hitting pay-dirt with young Donaldson's dancing caterpillar, a remarkable creature that performs only to 'Yes Sir, That's My Baby' on the harmonica. Success beckons, a deal with Disney is struck, and then our many-legged friend vanishes without trace. That's showbiz, huh?Author: TJ
