What a musical delight ! I just saw this on the Movies! Cable Chanel, and waited with baited breath to see the credits at the end to find out who these great singing performers were.... I assumed Penny Singleton's singing voice was dubbed by what they used to call a "studio singer", like Marni Nixon...and also, Ruth Terry who I've only known as an actress in the Westerns, never heard she was a singer....but alas, no credits were shown at the end, so I came here in hopes that some of the Reviews would give this info.....and I find out, that both ladies did their own singing! WOW ! Penny has a magnificent operatic voice, and Ruth reminded me very much of Judy Garland! And Arthur Lake is a virtuoso on the drums! Does it get any better? Yes.....because, as usual, the movie was stolen by Baby Dumpling and DAISY! I think Macauley Culkin would have had a run for his money if Larry Simms had shown up for the Home Alone audition....and that DAISY ! DOUBLE WOW ! He would be a winner on " America's Got Talent " for sure !

The plot is really silly, but with all that talent & cuteness, who cares ??

I didn't think there was an episode I've never seen of Gunsmoke, but this is it....and now that I've seen it, I know why....it's not shown very often, because it is terrible ! The story is stupid, it doesn't make sense, and none of the guest star characters are appealing. I'm not going to explain the plot, because all the other reviewers have done that thoroughly and well. All I'll do is give you my opinion, which is that it is the worst episode of the series. It must be a very early episode, because Mat and Kitty look so young ( not Doc, he looks exactly the same ). The only interesting thing is seeing Denver Pyle look so young and acting so serious ! I miss his comedic genius, as Brisco Darling in the Andy Griffith Show. I agree with another reviewer, that Strother Martin's character was really useless here.
