Summer Holiday- Can't Wait for September **
17 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Benign musical casting Mickey Rooney and Gloria De Haven as the teenagers next door, in love, but her father is against Rooney for his views. Rooney comes off as a socialist, bookworm in this film.

Agnes Moorehead stars as Cousin Lil in this film. She must have been forced under her contract to do this picture. After giving standout Oscar nominating supporting performances in "The Magnificent Ambersons," and "Johnny Belinda," the same year as this clinker, she is totally wasted in a remarkably forgettable part. She even tries to belt out a few bars, but the part was way beneath her talents.

I enjoyed Walter Huston's brief singing at the beginning of the film. Selena Royale plays her usual dutiful mother.

Frank Morgan, Moorehead's love interest in the film, is his usual lively self. He knows how to touch the bottle, but yet is warm and sincere.
