I Love Melvin (1953)
7/10
If you like big, fancy production numbers, this one's for you.

I am not the biggest fan of most musicals, so you might enjoy this one much more than I did. Much of this is because there are a few huge production numbers...which folks might love or hate. I really hated the one with guys wearing Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly masks...it was REALLY creepy. I personally prefer less fancy costumes and music...but again, this is just personal preference.

The story focuses on Judy (Debbie Reynolds) a struggling chorus girl who aspires to become a singing and dancing star. Her chance at getting noriced occurs when a junior photographer from "Look" comes to take photos...and he immediately falls for her. What's next? See the film...or not.

I enjoyed seeing Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor...they were both agreeable and likeable. I also enjoyed the little sister...she was rather funny. Overall, it is a film I could enjoy but didn't love but the quality of the film was quite nice.
