Review

Uninspired film derived from radio series of the same name; romantic plot offset by musical numbers with Spike Jones, The (Nat) King Cole Trio, and others.  * 1/2

(Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide 1997 Edition).

Screen version of Tom Breneman's popular radio show with three separate stories interwoven into the narrative line, and all taking place on the same day.  Songs included:  "It Is Better To Be Yourself" by Nat King Cole and "If I Had AWishing Ring" by Marla Shelton and Louis Alter.

(The Hollywood Musical, Clive Hirschhorn, 1981).
