Feb 14, 2015 Meh romantic comedy that's a remake of an earlier film that was a remake of a Preston Sturges Broadway play. Opera singer Ezio Pinza is photographed kissing a first time Broadway performer, Janet Leigh, who's also his biggest fan. To avoid scandal, the two agree to a sham marriage, with Leigh agreeing to it in hopes that the relationship becomes real. The plot is one that's ripe for comedy and it's one that I think could easily be updated with modern paparazzi, celebrity culture and obsessive fan culture. Unfortunately, this film fails to spawn many laughs despite the solid premiss and Pinza is a rather dull romantic lead. However, Janet Leigh is quite winning as the young impressionable fan who "marries" her idol.
