This film is so schlocky, I cannot imagine how they lined up such a great cast. Film giants Rosalind Russell, Robert Taylor, Van Johnson, Milton Berle, and Arthur Godfrey must have wanted to go hide when this was released.
About the only good quality in this film is continuity. There was at least a consistency of filming, lighting, plot, etc. I did not see any bloopers. And of course, it casts some pretty girls who, in their 20's, were very skilled at playing teenagers. But it does not qualify as a viewable film. It is just an airhead convention, and presents nothing to captivate the attention or to make you want to see it through to the end.
I can be merciful with most films. I can describe much more, usually, about a film's directing, acting, photography, script, etc. I regret that I am disappointed to see so many of my favorite actors and actresses wrap up their illustrious careers with this empty film.
