What dynamo Betty Hutton turned out to be in this show. She carries the whole movie on her dynamic personality. With good actors the likes of Keenan Wynn,Louis Calhern and J.Carrol Naish in support nobody manages to steal the attention from Hutton. Howard Keel is so overwhelmed by her performance you hardly remember him except in the classic song duel "Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)" where he is magnificent.Hutton has two really great numbers: "You Can't Get a Man with a Gun" and "Doin' What Comes Naturally". The rest of the musical is pretty standard stuff,but with the usual production values poured into an MGM musical it's bound to be greatly entertaining,though not a masterpiece.
