Grand Warner Brothers 1950s Doris Day musical, rich with period music.

In comparison to its predecessor On Moonlight Bay, it suffers quite a bit. Day is strangely off in her performance, and the story is nothing but a retread. Still, if you're going to revisit these nostalgic musicals, you could do worse.
