We’re in a definite holiday mood today — a dreamy feeling with a touch of travel-fever. Palm trees and flowerfilled lagoons float before our eyes. Our pulse has a rhumba beat.
That’s because we’ve just seen M-G-M’s Technicolorful carnival of romance and rhythm, “Holiday in Mexico”, and we’re still under its spell.
★ ★ ★ ★
We expected a lot of M-G-M’s “Holi¬ day in Mexico”. After all, the directorproducer team of George Sidney and Joe Pasternak is responsible for it, just as it was for “Anchors Aweigh”.
★ ★ ★ ★
But, high as our expectations were, “Holiday in Mexico” went rocketing past all previous hits of this hit-making team. It burst upon the screen with more dash and dazzlement than even we believed possible.

If you think you’ve seen lovely Techni¬ color entertainment, wait till you see what happens when the camera swings south of the Rio Grande.

In the exciting atmosphere of that gay, romantic land, suave and handsome Walter Pidgeon has a tropical love affair with beautiful Ilona Massey.

Provocative music ripples from the keyboard of Jose Iturbi.
Intoxicating Latin rhythms flow from Xavier Cugat and his orchestra.

Song breaks from the lips of Jane Powell, that new and scintillating star whose voice is like a vocal rainbow, and the throbbingly throaty singing of Ilona Massey is thrilling to the ear. (On the lighter side, there’s that young Casanova, Roddy McDowall, whose “pash” on Jane Powell is a howl.)
