I must admit that there were some moments in this corny little musical that were quite cute but you have to be in a certain mood to listen to the type of music that this film for the most part offers. Certainly the Gene Krupa numbers are very upbeat and will get your toes tapping, but every time Susan Reed began to sing, I started looking at my watch to see if it was bedtime. Not that her voice is bad or boring, but each song is like a comfortable lullaby that my mother might have son to me years ago. In fact, some of the songs remind many of the inspirational songs sung by Debbie Reynolds in the musical classic "The Singing Nun".
Virginia Grey, Michael Duane and Jack Leonard are the acting stars of this film, promoting the sweet Reed as the newest find for their recording company even though at first, Leonard wants no part of the innocuous Reed who seems to be playing herself with a soft spoken line delivery. The film mixes a variety of musical themes with brief period of plot development, so it seems closer to a concert intermixed with dialogue and that makes this often tedious in its structure. What the title "Glamour Girl" has to do with the plot I am still trying to figure out, and it certainly could have been worse. Grey could have come back with someone truly Pickin' and a grinnin'.
