Review of A Date with Judy (1948) by Adrian B — 20 Nov 2012
A rather unspectacular comedy/musical, I guess, in which a high school prom is approaching and one young teenager Judy Foster (Jane Powell) is trying to figure what man she wants to take to the event, after the boy (Scotty Beckett) she is interested in declines her invitation.
On the side, the boy's sister (Elizabeth Taylor) has booked bandleader Xavier Cugat (himself), who fiancée (Carmen Miranda) is teaching the Mr. Foster (Wallace Beery) how to dance. To add to this, a soda shop sets Judy up with his hansom nephew (Robert Stack).
Strange cast and catchy tunes barely help this film pass by. Not great, although Miranda is good to look and watch and has her amusing moments.
