I hadn't seen this movie for decades when I spotted it on Roku's Reel Classics. It is enjoyable, but it's easy to see why it didn't create the usual box office buzz of other Grable films. Not counting the inane school song in scene one, The first real song doesn't appear until 20 minutes into the plot. To my ear there are three fine tunes worthy of the Gershwin name. Changing my Tune; For You, For Me, Forevermore, and Aren't You Kinda Glad We Did. Since George had been dead for 10 years, Ira pulled incomplete tunes from George's "trunk" and completed them with the help of Kay Swift.
It's a nice diversion, but not a great musical.
I felt little chemistry between Haymes and Grable.
The print on Reel Classics was beautiful Technicolor.
