This is no "Singin' in the Rain", but it's a good follow-up for Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor. It might not have the greatest soundtrack, but the tunes are serviceable and it does have Reynolds and O'Connor, who contribute such energy to the story.

Also, the Technicolor is a treat, the dancing is quite good, the production values are strong, and---surprisingly---the writing is actually good. In the end, this film is fun.

The story is about a young actress who desires success, and a photographer's assistant who desires the girl. He uses his credentials to impress the girl, but eventually his efforts land him in trouble. It's a simple story, but it is merely the framework for the entertainment dished out by the stars.
