There are two numbers in this movie that are standouts, and fortunately,
they come close together. Marilyn Monroe singing "Heat Wave," (anybody else
notice how her navel was covered but there was a cutout below revealing part
of her abdomen?) and the charming Donald O'Connor singing (and dancing!) "A
Man Chases a Girl (until she catches him)." Other than that, there's
practically no plot, Johnnie Ray exaggerates his lyrics (one wonders how the
bisexual Ray felt about playing a priest), and Ethel Merman is typically
loud (I love it when Dan Dailey says, "Who are you, Whispering Jack Smith?"
when she tells him not to raise his voice to her) but looks fabulous. I
remember Ethel Merman as an overweight woman with big hair and had seen
photos of her in her youth she knew she was pretty in her young days, but in
her middle years (she was 46 years old when this was filmed) she was still
quite shapely and rather attractive.
But as good as Ethel and Dan looked together, Donald and Marilyn just didn't
go together. Marilyn looked much too old and worldly for Donald, even
though I believe they were born the same year. Together they didn't work,
but separately they were great. Too bad Donald really isn't given credit
for his fine singing voice in addition to his wonderful
dancing..

Heart-warming family fare with fabulous music and happy ending all
complete.

Caring talented parents and their woes "don't worry" says the doc, "yeah,
right," says Mom Merman "that's a LAUGH. Ya worry the moment they're
born.
Even after ya die I'll bet ya still worry about 'em."

When the overture first hits, you know you're in for a musical treat. The
heart-felt storyline only adds to the enjoyment. A MUST SEE if you want a
feast for eyes, ears and heart..
