This movie has a bad script and bad sets, yet Gypsy Lee Rose and Paulette Goddard still hit their comedy beats and look gorgeous. There's an interesting comedy here somewhere but it doesn't land with the bad script (and white washed casting). I'm surprised this wasn't more of a musical. There's only one dance sequence and the cinematography is very poor so it's not even worth it. I guess it's simply bad because they tried to do this on the cheap without putting the money into better casting, better sets, better dance numbers, and better filming.
I do like the discussion of women's equality in a 1952 movie delivered with the stars try humor. They deserved better.
