The Music Makes It Worth Seeing

Warning: Spoilers
This is a good example of the romantic/musical/comedy light movies that came out in the 1950's and the 1960's. It's in color, with an excellent cast, some good music, a typical love story, and light comedy. It was the introductory film for Vic Damone, with excellent singing by him, Jane Powell, Fernando Lamas, Danielle Darrieux (a singer/actress whom I was not familiar with), and The Four Freshmen. With those outstanding singers, I cannot understand why the director of the movie had Wendell Corey sing two songs, when he couldn't sing worth a hoot. Perhaps it was meant to be a humorous contrast for the other singers, but I can imagine that Mr. Corey was embarrassed by having to do so. This is a good light-weight comedy that I will watch again.
