Cute but minor musical romantic comedy. Very ordinary and predictable but it still manages to entertain. The musical numbers are above average mainly because of Sonia Henie?s skating. The supporting cast is great, Cesar Romero, Buddy Ebsen, Arthur Treacher, George Barbier and Gypsy Rose Lee are all terrific. Some catchy tunes, good costume design.
