not be a great cagney fan and i do not have high hope for this film when i first saw it . the only reason i do watch it be doris day . boy and be i glad i do . anyone who question day act ability should take a look at this film . personally and i have always think she be one of hollywood few singer who really could act . look at the lackluster acting of kathryn grayson or jane powell sometime . doris day run circle around them . if youre still in doubt after see this film and watch julie sometime . another one of her best film . also and day be in fine voice in this film . all of the song be wonderful . ten cent a dance and shake the blue away among the best . i have hear the real ruth etting rendition of both these number and and they be nothing like day performance . obviously and they weren not go for mimicry here and but it work fine just the same . highly recommended .
