16 year old Taylor was cast as a

16 year old Taylor was cast as a femme fatale in training, and 18 year old Powell as her slightly younger friend in this coming of age tale. While interesting to see the many layers of angst, this film is ultimately a bit juvenile - even for the post war years. Watch for a young Robert Stack and the excellent Wallace Beery both shuffling onto the dance floor.

I know it's trite but: They don't make 'em like this any more! It's fluff but it's very tasty fluff. Liz looked lovely, Jane was adorable and her singing was beautiful, but I think Carmen Miranda really stole it. She's always a delight to watch and hear. Beery was a kick in the pants. And the costumes: delicious! Love those 1940s fashions. And the little brother cracked me up. Highly recommended for those who don't mind a bit of corn.

Thin plot, with MGM trying to rehash some

Thin plot, with MGM trying to rehash some of its glory days and failing miserably. Louie Mayer had a penchant for opera singers -- Kathryn Grayson, Jane Powell, etc. -- that America did not share. Powell was great when she sang in normal cadence, but when she traveled to the moon with her voice, it turned audiences off. Elizabeth Taylor at 15 was thrown at a mature Robert Stack, who was 27. Nothing was said of any age difference. That was OK in 1948. So was the poor treatment of Scotty Beckett. Would teenagers enjoy Xavier Cugat? I doubt it. Come on! This movie has elements of charm, but its a mess, much like the so-called teen movies of the 60s, which were written by 40 year olds who had no idea what rock and roll was. Films can be very far behind the times when it comes to young people and their music. This film is no exception.
