happy go lovely be a waste of everybody time and talent include the audience . the lightness of the old hat mistake identity and faux scandal plot line be eminently forgivable . very few people watch these movie for their plot . but and they usually have some interesting minor character involve in subplots not here . they usually have interesting choreography and breathtaking dancing and catchy song . not happy go lovely . and vera ellen a the female lead play the whole movie a a second banana look desperately for a star to play off it and instead she be call upon to carry the movie and and couldn not do it . the scottish locale be waste . usually automatically ubiquitous droll scottish whimsy be absent . the photography be pedestrian . the musical number be pedestrian . cesar romero give his usual professional performance and chew up the scenery since no one else be do his part and in the type of producer role essay frequently by walter abel and adolph menjou . david niven be just fine and and no one could do david niven like david niven . at the end of the day and if you adore niven a i do and it reason enough to waste 90 minute on happy go lovely . if not and skip it .
