Movie Info

This second film version of the DeSylva/Brown/Henderson Broadway musical Good News may not be the best of the Arthur Freed-produced MGM musicals, but it's certainly one of the peppiest.

Sprightly, colorful and high spirited. Peter Lawford can't carry a tune to save his life but gives a game try, June is full of zest, Joan McCraken a marvel and Connie Gilchrist has an amusing small part. The dance numbers are fantastic.
