Average viewer score of 6.3/10 from 25 ratings.
Old fashioned but kind of charming, mostly for Lana Turner as I didn't completely buy Bob Hope in the lead role, and the final scene was just dumb, not terribly romantic. IDK, it was mildly entertaining for what it is, but can't think I'll remember about it down the line. **3.0/5**
