The plot of this movie is paper-thin and not at all engrossing. The only reason I stuck with it is that it was a pleasure watching a very young Lana Turner dance. No, she wasn't Rita Hayworth, at least not yet, but she turns out to have been a very fine dancer.
That said, the real problem with this short movie is that there is very little singing and dancing in it. So most of the time is spent on the plot, which was hackneyed even then and of no interest. The few musical numbers are forgettable.
It's a shame they didn't put Turner in another, much better musical. She was really a talented woman, wasted on all those 1950s melodramas.
