More than any other studio, Warner Bros believed in the maxim: if at first you do succeed, try, try again. Thus this musical remake of Fanny Hurst's Four Daughters, with Doris Day and Frank Sinatra spectacularly miscast as a married couple moping in a big-city tenement.
She misses her roses-round-the-door New England neighborhood, he's a sorehead loser who feels especially low when the presents are being handed out in Doris' friendly family home. Good songs, mind, including Someone To Watch Over Me, One For My Baby and Just One Of Those Things.
Enjoyable as Doris Day usually is, this is syrup-sweet but doesn't stick in the memory after viewing.
