May 8, 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 Oct 18, 2015 another technicolour musical See more Mar 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 Oct 17, 2008 Nothing special- although I wish it was. Niven and Vera-Ellen dancing try to lift it a bit. See more Sep 5, 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 Jul 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
