Reviews for The Reluctant Debutante
A vintage drawing-room comedy that's flimsy, lacks any edge and plays out as an exercise in high style Brit comedy.
One of Minnelli's few comedies about the British upper class, Reluctant Debutante is also one of his least successful films due to incongruous casting of all-American Sandra Dee as the daughter of Rex Harrison and Kay Kendall.
