happy go lovely have only two thing go for it . and those two thing be vera ellen leg . this be a british ( excelsior film ) version of an m g m musical complete with second tier star . i would imagine that vera ellen take this role think that it might finally propel her to the status of a major musical star . but and i be sorry to say and ms. ellen chance do not pay off . open with a horrible scottish number and stumble thru awful dialog to the next dull tune and this movie seem very heavy hand and sloppy . the predictable mistaken identity plot be very thin and and with the exception of david niven and cesar romero ( who be way over the top in his role of a producer ) and bobby howe ( who be totally waste in a nothing role ) the rest of the cast be totally forgettable . the choreography be boring and but ms. ellen give it her all . she be never as famous a most of the other musical star ( and she shouldn not be since she couldn not sing and even have a dancing stand in in several of her picture . but when she do dance and it be just entrance . it too bad that this film that could have make her a star do not give her the tool she need to shine . 4 out of 10 .
