An excellent taste of Americana with our changing society again the subject based on Booth Tarkington's writings. We must remember that Tarkington went way dramatic in 1942' memorable "The Magnificent Ambersons."
Though this is a musical, change in society is the theme touched on as well as women getting involved in politics.
The tunes are absolutely delightful and Doris Day and Gordon MacRae made an excellent team.
Leon Ames is memorable as the father and veteran actress Rosemary De Camp is her usual complacent self here.
Special kudos to Billy Gray, the younger brother, who was really 15 years of age when the film debuted in 1953. Gray looked much younger than that.
The film is helped by the confusion and misunderstanding that prevails. We can thank our usual town gossipers for that.
