Rick Belrow Livingston (Farley Granger) is arrogant, rich, and entitled. He's speeding to elope with Broadway starlet Lisa (Ann Miller). He's caught speeding through a small town and a judge sentences him to 30 days in jail. The judge's teenage daughter, Cindy Kimbell (Jane Powell), and the other girls are taken with the freewheeling handsome inmate. The town is holding a boxed lunch auction and Rick makes a large bid on Cindy's box.
This is a 50's musical although Nat King Cole's performance is probably my favorite. The old style music is not my favorite. The story is teen melodrama. I like the box lunch bit but the rest is forgettable. It's a simple old Hollywood musical.
