Mitzi Gaynor and Scott Brady starred in this 1952 Damon Runyon tale involving gangsters and some good people.
When Brady is returning from Florida, as the heat from the commission investigating him has been turned off, he runs into Georgia hick Mitzi Gaynor. Feeling sorry for her, this bookie brings her back to New York only to realize that she is a 20 year old girl. He sets her up for dancing and naturally being Mitzi Gaynor, she succeeds.
As he falls in love with her, he will incur the wrath of his jealous girl who will turn the tables on him.
Gaynor was just wonderful in her dance sequences. Mitzi Green is in fine form in a supporting performance as the mob's moll who helps both Gaynor and Brady as the two fall for each other.
Very light and amusing entertainment. Look for 2 brief scenes by Charles Bronson as a mobster.
Milo O'Shea handles his role as a police officer effectively.
