The brilliant "musical" career of our heroine seems to be based on constant repetition of one childish rhyme. If this doesn't get under your skin pretty quickly there's plenty more to irritate you about this time-waster. The plot staggers wildly from one untied loose end to another, leaving this viewer wondering "but why did...?" and "what ever happened to...?" and so on. The terrible misjudgments by the producer and director are nowhere more obvious than the complete absence of any musical role for Stanley Holloway (later legendary in My Fair Lady) while the other no-talent cast members are permitted to embarrass themselves at length.
