...following criticism is very grave. Jeanne Jerrems as Isabelle was pretty, suitably unsure of herself in the rich surroundings, but just a slight bit stiff; Louis Edmonds, as the twin brothers, was good as the calculating Hugo but could probably have made the sheepish Frederic more of a contrast; Dee Victor grated well as Isabelle's unbearably oafish mother; Olive Dunbar overplayed Capulet, the servant with romatic ideas, a little too much; Stanley Jay as the crumbling butler, Laurinda Barrett as the vampish Lady India, and Kilty himself as the money baron, were all excellent...

Result: a welter of hits in the r.-and-b. idiom (including five of the first eight top tunes). Sample hits: Sincerely (McGuire Sisters; Coral), Tweedlee Dee (Georgia Gibbs; Mercury), Earth Angel (CrewCuts, Mercury). Even such stars as Jo Stafford (I Got a Sweetie; Columbia) and Eddie Fisher (Just One More Time; Victor) are showing some rock-'n'-roll influence...
