Teenage girl in Southern California is in a quandary: could it be that her stodgy father is really having an affair with a spicy band singer? Jane Powell plays the suspicious kid, Wallace Beery is her pop, insane Carmen Miranda plays the colorful chanteuse. Modest sitcom, a featherweight piece of fluff, but perhaps an overlong one, with tired songs and not enough funny lines or gags. It's entirely slick and squeaky-clean, and might charm some with its nostalgia. Elizabeth Taylor easily steals the picture away from the others playing Jane's "progressive" pal--one who gets to wear false eyelashes to the prom!
