Featured review
Pleasant Remake
Keenan Wynn's newspaper has been a political opponent of Cecil Kellaway for years. So when they publish an actionable story about his daughter, Esther Williams being a man-stealer, Kellaway wastes no time filing a lawsuit. The solution is to get womanizing Van Johnson to seduce her.... and to marry him to Wynn's fiancee, Lucille Ball, to make the first story retroactively true.
It's a remake of LIBELED LADY, with a few musical numbers and a swimming pool for Esther Williams to potsker around in. It's directed more as a straight farce than the original, and that part works all right; given that the original cast was Spencer Tracy, William Powell, Myrna Loy and Jean Harlow, it's hard for any of these to come up to snuff, although Miss Ball is very good. Johnson gives the impression of a small boy playing dress-up, and Keenan Wynn seems to think the movie is a lot funnier than it is.
