Featured review
Hutton is more enjoyable in this restrained performance.
Betty Hutton is an unusual actress of the 1940s and 50s. Unlike a typical actress, her roles were usually louder, brasher and more energetic than the rest. In general, I don't like these performances and prefer a bit more subtlety...however, I must admit that she is quite good in "Dream Girl" because she is more restrained and likable.
The story begins with Georgina (Hutton) going to her sister's wedding. However, throughout the story you can hear Georgina's thoughts...and you soon learn that she wishes she was marrying her soon to be brother-in-law! At this wedding is an unusual and somewhat annoying guest...a reporter named Clark Redfield (Macdonald Carey). Upset at NOT being the bride, Georgina seems to take it out on Clark...and he dishes it back just as quickly. Can these two mismatched folks manage to somehow fall in love by the end of the picture?!
While I would not want many more films in the style of "Dream Girl", it is a nice change of pace and is a nice time-passer. A bit predictable but also clever and sweet at times.
By the way, I know Hutton could sing. But does anyone know if this was actually her singing the aria from "Madame Butterfly" near the end of the film? If it was, she was incredible!
