The Tender Trap (1955)


THE TENDER TRAP  (1955)  
¢ ¢ 1/2
    D: Charles Walters
    Frank Sinatra, Debbie Reynolds, David Wayne,
    Celeste Holm, Carolyn Jones, Lola Albright
A mostly disposable Sinatra vehicle with Frank as a swingin' New York bachelor who gets what's coming to him when he meets a marriage-minded girl played by Debbie Reynolds. The highlights are in the supporting cast - David Wayne, Celeste Holm, and a funny, deadpan bit by Carolyn Jones as a helpful neighbor who appears periodically to walk Frank's dog. Sinatra sings the title tune in the striking opening shot.
