"official" release via MillCreek, but cropped not WS, cropped for TV.

Dir. DP & JA married '45-'63 (his death).

5 songs in the Soundtracks; title song by The Four Aces, 1 by Stubby Kaye w/cast, 1 danced by JA, 2 by JA & JL.

Notice the IT in the poster, perhaps because this is a remake of It Happened One Night (1934)?

Casts ('56 order):
June Allyson::Claudette Colbert
Jack Lemmon::Clark Gable
Charles Bickford::Walter Connolly

Allyn Joslyn::Charles C. Wilson?
Paul Gilbert::Roscoe Karns

So another remake of an already good film for JA this year. This can only disappoint, and it does. A lot of plot points are faithfully brought from the antecedent, musical numbers are injected, and the 2 leads are nowhere near as compelling as in the original. 

Oddly, JL has some of the same energy as DP, but does not sing nearly so well, of course. It would have been far more interesting to see DP in that role, since he was married to JA. But his last film acting was released in '54. (11 episodes of TV, though.)

By reminding myself this cannot live up to the original, I found it passable; previously I rated it 5. I cannot imagine any circumstance when I would choose to watch this instead of CG+CC.
