A nightclub singer and a private eye, both pretending to be someone they're not, meet on a cruise ship in a passable musical comedy that ought to be better, considering the level of talent involved. It was Doris Day's first screen acting role. The Epstein brothers wrote the script, with some additional work by I.A.L. Diamond. Busby Berkeley did the choreography. Look for the "Casablanca" references.
