05/08/2016 Musical comedy where a stuffy mysterious millionaire who falls in love but has trouble convincing people as to who he actually is See more 10/18/2015 another technicolour musical See more 03/14/2009 Vera-Ellen, David Niven, Cesar Romero, public domain thus legally free to download. Can't go wrong. Great cast, funny story, no reason not to watch it. See more 10/17/2008 Nothing special- although I wish it was. Niven and Vera-Ellen dancing try to lift it a bit. See more 09/05/2008 Rather tedious, but 3 stars almost purely for the awesomeness that is David Niven. The Bruno staff, notably Mr Dodds, also went a long way in keeping my finger off the fast-forward button. See more 07/27/2008 Amusing comedy musical, some fair musical numbers. Good cast, especially Niven but the film is rather ordinary and unmemorable. Cute though. See more Read all reviews
