Disc just arrived.
Too many songs in the Soundtracks to count, because WG does a long medley in the opening scene. Several good performances by student choirs.
WG is not a showgirl, she's a headliner (name big on the marquee in Vegas at the film's opening.
This is cute, but a little trite. Teacher wins over her music class by getting them to perform together. The catch is that WG is selected as the teacher, reprising her Sister Mary Clarence disguise, but without the pressures of a gangster seeking her. Instead we have the pressure of the archdiocese wanting to close the school.
