Fizzy little comedy, luxuriously wrapped in Ross Hunter trimmings, has ultra-rich Sandra Dee passing Robert Goulet off to grandfather Maurice Chevalier as her fiance, though the fiance actually is Andy Williams. Both singers turn out to be better light comedians than you'd expect, and the perfectly solid supporting cast also includes Gene Raymond and Hermione Gingold, reuniting with Chevalier several years after "Gigi" (the script doesn't quite know what to do with her). No world-shaker, but it's fast and light, and with two good songs, the title one by a very young Maltby and Shire. Even Dee looks to be having fun, and what a wardrobe she's swaddled in.
