Nothing in this film is remotely believable. Different genres and eras of music appear in the same settings......along with a stand up comic duo doing an overlong routine that isn't funny. It doesn't fit with the plot, and neither do many of the other performers. Wonderful Gershwin songs seem very out of place juxtaposed with an orange Nevada ranch, the English rock group Herman's Hermits,and Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. Pick any two of those and you have incongruity. It is positively weird how nothing in this film makes sense or has a logical thread.
Connie Francis has a nice singing voice but that is not enough to carry the film. Harve Presnell as someone else said has a bad toupee, is too tall for her, and looks too old to be even a fairly recent college student.
Louis Armstrong and Liberace also appear, and what do they have to do with what is going on? The movie is not about stage life in a casino or about hiring or dealing with great performers or the performing life, in any way.
This might have been so bad it was campy fun, but alas, I did not have fun. I just could not believe how bad it was. I think my favorite bit was when Connie races back to the ranch on her horse and is thrown off it into a car. The director forgot to include the horse in the scene after the cut, so it looks like the horse has literally evaporated into thin air. One second there is a horse, and the next second, no horse! If this movie evaporates into thin air, it is no one's loss. Whose career was furthered in ANY WAY by this stinker?
