Bootleg, blurry.

In the Tap! Appendix for Tony Curtis, Paul Gilbert, Gene Nelson.

1st film credit of 7 for PG; he also started his TV credits (of 10) this year with his own series (13 eps).

11th of 31 director credits for RQ, 3rd musical viewed. As an actor, he had 29 credits, and only 5 musicals. His first acting credit was age 13.

22nd film credit of 95 for TC; 1st of 5 musicals. Yes, he sings and dances. Not so that I'm going to scour the internet to own his other musicals, but well enough to perform between GN & PG.

The plot includes romantic complications of TC & GN wanting the same 2 women (or did GN just want GD, and gave CC a big kiss just because?) They put on a show to help 5 orphans being raised by GD & her grandmother. But they perform musical numbers well before any show is mentioned; the show is only ch9, and half of it is PG; we didn't see any rehearsal, but somehow they were well oiled, and said something about doing a number they knew, from where I didn't catch..

Mediocre musical, but GN dazzles again with his dancing. Very happy to have this print since I found no official release, and want an official one should it ever happen.
