Doris Day in a costume nonsense. The type of nostalgic escapism Hollywood loved to do. Only there the feast the eyes and give a series of charming moments. And Day was good for that.

Way too fucking cutesy. Among the many crimes this flick is guilty of... Gordon MacRae had one of the great male voices of the middle part of the century, yet we are barely allowed to hear it, even when he's "singing" those crappy songs. Of course, if he did any more than croon, he would completely obliterate Doris Day, vocally.

Fun, light-hearted comedy, supported by Day's and Macrae's wonderful voices and by the young brother Wesley's antics. My only real beef is that she gave up baseball.

A charming piece of Book Tarkington Americana--sort of a poor man's "Meet Me in St. Louis". Day, Macrae, Ames and DeCamp hit just the right light tone, for which Del Ruth deserves the credit.
