| I love Jane Powell and Elizabeth Taylor. I'll watch them in anything. But their characters are so bratty in this movie it was almost torture. As far as romance goes Jane Powell and the other boy, don't have chemistry. It feels like Jane is forced into the situation.
But there are a couple of things to recommend. Carmen Miranda sings a couple of numbers and plays a dance instructor. Xavier Cugat, like in the better previous Holiday in Mexico, comes to the high school to perform a number, as if. It kind of undermines what a famous musician he was. The most curious of all things in this movie is Elizabeth Taylor's number. Maybe the studio wasn't exactly sure about her appeal yet but she sings a song in this. She lipsyncs and it's generic but still that's surprising enough. But she was declared the prettiest girl in the movie so at least they were aware of something. |

| Get ready for laughter, romance, wonderful musical numbers, and an overall UPBEAT, FEEL GREAT time!!! Among the main stars in this fun color musical are Jane Powell, Scotty Beckett, Liz Taylor (just sixteen yrs. old ), Robert Stack, Carmen Miranda, and Xavier Cougat. The story is set in Santa Barbara, CA where sixteen yr. old Judy Foster (Powell), a vivacious teenager, finds herself in all kinds of chaos due to misunderstandings and family mixups. Lots of fun song and dance numbers by the charming Carmen Miranda. Powell sings gorgeous renditions of "Judaline" and "It's a Most Unusual Day." I LOVE THIS MOVIE and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! |

| A cluster of MGM stars are showcased in this song-filled comedy that keeps you chuckling from beginning to end. Jane Powell is Judy Foster, who sings weekly on a local radio show sponsored by next door neighbor Elizabeth Taylor's father. Liz's younger brother, Oogie, is the leader of the band for the show and is also in charge of the music for the big school dance which everyone is preparing for. He also has a crush on Judy. But Judy and Liz both have a crush on local soda fountain adonis, Robert Stack. Guess who wins? In the meantime, Judy's learns that her father, Wallace Beery, is seeing Brazilian bomshell, Carmen Miranda, on the sly. Not realizing that he is taking dancing lessons to surprise his wife, Judy manages to frustrate relationships in several different directions. The whimsical plot is laced with several dazzling musical numbers. Jane sings the up-beat "It's A Most Unusual Day", the radio show's theme song "Judaline", a mad-cap duet with Oogie "I'm A Little On The Corney Side" and the spirited "Love Is Where You Find It." Carmen Miranda dazzles with "Cuanta La Gusta" and Xaviar Cugat and his orchestra wrap it all together with their beautiful Latin rhythms. So, curl up in a comfortable chair and enjoy A Date With Judy. |
