ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

marcslope An independent feature made at the very, very end of the movie musical's golden age, and the desperation shows. Vera-Ellen, looking unhealthily slim and not dancing much, is a Vermont lass who inherits enough money to fly to Edinburgh, where she keeps running into Tony Martin and is wooed by impoverished lord Robert Flemyng. Martin, looking beefy and well past his leading-man prime, sings everywhere--at airport customs, in a Scottish dining car, at Vera's Vermont bungalow--and the songs, by Nicholas Brodzky and Paul Francis Webster, are neatly integrated enough but not what you'd call exciting. Nor is Henry Levin's direction, and even the Edinburgh location shooting looks rather skimpy. Wan storytelling, no-name supporting cast, so-so songs… No wonder it didn't do well.

misctidsandbits I like a lot of the older movies, including B movies and less than stellar musicals. While this one had the Scottish scenery going for it, that's about all as far as I am concerned. Tried to go it, but just couldn't. Too many "ouchies." Vera-Ellen, while good in other things, was a bit painful to watch in this. Same for Tony Martin. The redhead was, to me, hard on the eyes and nerves. The lord character was lackluster. Surprised at the comments of other reviewers that Cyd Charise should have had the female lead. Good grief. Get some proportion. While Tony Martin was married to Cyd Charise, there is a huge difference in their movie presence and draw. They don't cast parts to be cutesy.Ms. Charise played and co-starred with major stars in top films. Mr. Martin never did. There's no comparison. This was way too low a production for Ms. Charise. While Mr. Martin enjoyed success as a recording artist, a strong actor, he wasn't. I didn't even care for his singing in this. Forget the acting, on anyone's part.Definitely give this one a pass - as in pass up. Good performances can override a bad script/plot. That didn't happen here.

edwagreen Weak musical despite the stars Tony Martin and the tragic Vera-Ellen. The latter comes off as a real greenhorn in the opening scenes. She is Molly Brown without the Debbie Reynolds talent.They should have made more of the Lord, who, actually broke and thinks that Ellen has a fortune. The fortune consisting of $4952.00.As for Martin, he is give little insofar as the material and the songs he sings are really for the canaries. He has a wonderful voice so he should have been given the songs that match his voice range.Who was the redhead who was infatuated with Martin? She reminded me, without the accent, of Maureen Arthur of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."As for "Let's Be Happy," it's totally benign

dubyah1 A minor 50's musical with the unusual backdrop of Edinburgh! Vera-Ellen is the biggest name, if that's any gauge, and she seems to have been cast for the circumference of her cinched waist. Watch her attempting to obey the direction to NOT look in the camera: her eye movements bring to mind Carol Burnett's over-the-top Norah Desmond.The storyline has a slightly screwball premise so dear to musicals; 'young' Jeannie [Vera-Ellen in her last major role] goes to Europe for a vacation and spends her entire inheritance of $4000; two cads, one a helpful Yankee [Tony Martin, stalwart of lesser musicals and Cyd Charisse's husband] and the other a poor Scottish laird [Robert Flemyng] who believes her to be a million-heiress vie for her affections. An odd jazz-ballet number reminds you it was made in the late 50's. The city of Edinburgh and some stunning gowns co-star. ** out of **** stars
