...does the best job of her short career to date. Her almost surrealist figure, quite as implausible as a Petty girl's, fascinates every male aboard a transatlantic luxury liner, from a monocled old millionaire (Charles Coburn) to a six-year-old boy with a valet and a foghorn voice (George Winslow). In the process, she also sings remarkably well,* dances, or rather undulates all over, flutters the heaviest eyelids in show business, and breathlessly delivers such lines of dialogue as "Coupons-that's almost like money," as if she were in the throes of a grand passion...

There is a pungent gallery of prognathous fictional sports characters, while such real sports personalities as Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Gussie Moran, Donald Budge, Alice Marble, Frank Parker and Betty Hicks show up in person...
...fine production like "Kiss Me Kate" it is regrettable to have a weak performer in one of the main roles. Marilyn Day's voice has a certain foghorn quality that doesn't fit a love song, and, strangely enough, doesn't even lend itself to the more raucous "Always True to You in My Fashion...
