Warning: Spoilers
The singing and dancing are great but after Singin' In the Rain, the year before, it's just too hard to top that with Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor back together again on the big screen.

Allyn Joslyn and Una Merkel make the perfect plain parents to Reynolds, who is aspiring for a show business career, and of course there is always the precocious sister who comes along.

The plot is average to somewhat below average. O'Connor as Hoover meets Reynolds as Judy in the film and naturally he becomes smitten with her and uses his photography skills to snap a variety of photos for her to accelerate her career and keep an interest in him.
