Thrill of A Romance-Pleasant With No Thrills **1/2
17 May 2011
Warning: Spoilers
A very typical musical of the 1940s. Boy and girl marry quickly, and while on a honeymoon, he has to speed off for business ventures, and she finds love. Esther Williams again proved that she was no actress whatsoever.

Henry Travers, so memorable in Mrs. Miniver, and Spring Byington play the dithering aunt and uncle. The real good job here goes to Lauritz Melchior, the opera tenor, who gives good advice to Williams. He voice was as charming as ever and he proved that he could do some acting, especially in scenes with Ethel Griffies, who spent 37 years in the family of 8 years before in the memorable Oscar winning "How Green Was My Valley."

A routine but enjoyable movie. Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra really liven things up as well.
