At times the dialog is the same as The Strawberry Blonde. and of course Blonde is a better film. But, this is a fun musical and it has the wonderful Janis Paige who was a fine stage performer and was the lead in the original Bway production of The Pajama Game. What you rarely see in musicals of that era is live singing (never at MGM). However, in this movie several of the musical numbers are sung live and it make a huge difference. It's truly where you see how real the talent is of the performers. Speaking of talent, those viewers that have seen the Cagney version will marvel at how much better the dramatic scenes between Cagney and DeHavalind are than the those with Paige and Morgan....which are basically word for word the same. It's a tribute to Cagney's talent and charisma. The movie that made Rita Hayworth a star.
