    A very good movie. Loved Doris Day.

    A very enjoyable family movie with some moments that are still funny today and some catchy tunes. Doris Day is at her best when playing the tomboy but the movie is almost stolen by Billy Gray, who plays her mischievous kid brother.

    Billy Gray as Doris' kid brother was probably the best thing about this film, but he did get to do all the funny and pretty naughty things.
    A very enjoyable family film with plenty of light hearted moments to make you smile.

    I had more patience for musicals as a kid and I did see this many moons ago, but I enjoyed the corny innocence that we invent to coincide with nostalgia.
