Romance On The High Seas: Doris Day, Jack Carson and Oscar Levant in a romantic musical.
ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS
This is a light-hearted, colorful, better than average musical with a fine fiesta spirit sustained throughout. Mrs. Elvirah Kent (Janis Paige) is about to set off on a South American cruise, when she discovers that her husband has just acguired a glamorous blond secretary. Elvirah misinterprets her poor innocent guy's anxiety to dispatch her on the cruise, thinks he can't wait to get rid of her in order to launch his romance with blondie. Elvirah makes up her mind that she won't go, but will let him think that she's gone — ■ then when he begins stepping out, she'll be right on hand to nab him red-handed.
She persuades night club singer Georgia Garrett (Doris Day), a bundle of dynamite of the Betty Hutton school, to go on the cruise, masquerading as Mrs. Kent, and that accomplished, Elvirah settles down to the serious business of spying on hubby through a telescope. Hubby meanwhile has hired a private detective (Jack Carson) to trail Elvirah, fearing she may be unfaithful to him on shipboard, and the detective falls hard for the phony Mrs. K. She falls too, but her style is somewhat cramped by her wedding ring.
How the mix-up is finally untangled makes a well-paced, amusing story. There are heavenly holiday-ish sets, some good songs put over with zing by Doris Day, and a fine Calypso number by Sir Lancelot. Oscar Levant, a better pianist than actor, is on deck in a minor role, and S. K. Zakall is there too, good — as always — for a few laughs. This one's "refreshing as a julep. Don't miss it. — War.
