Really not a musical, hence the "{nm}" in the title of this post. The one song and dance number is bad, which would be appropriate to a child that age. She danced really well a few films ago, with James Dunn (her dance partner here), so this must have been an artistic choice.

Beware child in jeopardy plotline. Strange that they would colorize this one. The setting & plot matches B/W.
