Featured review
The total movie, if one goes by the plot and the practicality of it, is much below standard - too many coincidences - not only in hit but also misses and also the bigamy at the end, with active connivance - or support from all, including the Justice of Peace (of course the first, and hence legal, wife is excluded from this list) .
But sometimes that doesn't matter - when the speed of the narration is just right, and with the lovely musicals and witty dialogue, unless one is really a professional critic, trying to tear everything in view to shreds, the movie is a bit better than just OK. And of course I have to add the radiant Barbara in the list. And of course I shouldn't miss on the very lovable grandma (whose?) Helen Westely, she too sparkled every time she was put on screen.
Good enough for one view, and considering the music, dialogues etc, may be repeat ? I can't give it 8, it is somewhere about 7.25-7.5 on my scale.
