REVIEWS:
Some light and fluffy movie nonsense.
.. exactly what you'd expect for the era. Girls giggle and gossip, guys are handsome and sing.. that about sums it up.
I'm sure you see Lake at the back of the gaggle of girls crowding the window as the boys sing to them.. she kinda stands out being small and right at the back. Otherwise she is a crowd filler and fun to try and spot.
Lakes first proper film but her role was cut in the edit, she remains in the background though. A light watch from a bygone time and easy relaxed viewing. Nothing special but not bad either.
