give credit where it due and only the technicolor and costume and set deserve any honorable mention . this be undoubtedly the low point in bing crosby long career at paramount . the script be about as clumsy a you could possibly imagine and neither the casual bing nor william bendix nor sir cedric hardwicke can do a thing about repair it . bendix look extremely foolish in a page boy wig . and poor rhonda fleming have a stock costume heroine role require her to look adoringly at bing and little else except for warble a couple of uninspired ballad in a voice probably dub for the occasion . just plain awful . mark twain wit be not evident in any of the screenplay . only die hard crosby fan can possibly appreciate this mess of a film give uninspired direction . even the extra look a though they do not know what theyre suppose to be do . sum up represent dull a dishwater . not recommend and even for child .
