"With the title like this, I should have known that this was a musical, through and through, and certainly is! It deserves four stars because of the quality of the stage production. The plot is about Melinda, played by Doris Day, and Tom, played by Gene Nelson, the principal actors of the stage musical in rehearsal . Adolph, played by Hungarian S.Z. Sakall, finances the show. During the rehearsal , there are terrible misunderstandings regarding Melinda and that of her mother, who also has a Broadway theatre background. The plot has to be simple because the main character of this movie is the music itself. "
