Anything Goes

A Movie Review by Magdalen Aithne Arkwright

Their play is about an American girl looking for love, who sings and dances.  A French girl just wouldn't be right, would she?  Well, Ted - who hired French Gaby - and Bill - who signed Patsy - fight this out as they head back to America on a cruise ship.

Patsy was first, and anyhow, they all agreed Bill could sign the girl.  But then Ted meets Patsy for a date and, oh, Gaby's got to go.  But how to get rid of her?  Ted chickens out, so Bill takes Gaby to dinner - and things don't go as planned.

Ted, not knowing Bill didn't break the news, makes the mistake of apologizing.  Then Gaby, at first stubborn, overhears Patsy's father confessing to Patsy that he's in trouble.  She backs out, playing mad at Bill.

Patsy tries to save Ted from her father's problems, leaving Ted sitting in his cabin staring at the phone and hoping she'll call.  But Bill gets tipped off on the whole situation - he and Ted now have the difficult task of getting their girls out of their cabins.

Bing Crosby and Donald O'Connor team up again to give us a film that's entertaining in every way.  With Mitzi Gaynor and Jeanmaire, romance is not a stretch.  Complete with dancing, singing, and humor, this film is one you'll not want to miss.

Rating: A
Points: 10
