i think this movie be quite good . it be on tcm ( turner classic movie ) at three be one night and and it offbeat humor keep me up til five . kelly perform beautifully in this role and especially with the grandma ( whose quip almost cause me to laugh out of my seat ) . the main actress be alright and but the father be able to keep his character isolate from the marriage conflict and keep the humor come . if you like a good offbeat and old movie and i would recommend it . unlike the other comment and i do like gene kelly . he be the perfect leading actor for many of the early musical and i think in this role and he ooze his charisma . one drawback be the dance scene get a little long wind and but if you can get through those and youre in the clear .
