David Niven (along with Vera Ellen) in a musical comedy was definitely something that I wanted to check out. Everything considered I'm surprised how much I enjoyed Happy Go Lovely. First off there is the 'musical' aspect of the film - they are rather slight in regards to the singing as there are only two numbers where Ellen sings, and she's known primarily as a dancer and not a singer. As for the dancing, there's one dance sequence of some length but otherwise it is a handful of small, brief dance interludes, none of which are particularly memorably. David Niven is quite enjoyable and Ellen is too. Romero can be quite good but he overplays his part here almost to the point of annoying, he really needed to dial it back a notch or two and it would have worked. The story itself is cute and it works. While Happy Go Lovely is not one of the great Hollywood musicals, it is one worth checking out.
