This 35mm presentation is part of the BFI musicals season (details here).
Time Out review:
Really attractive little musical, with Donald O'Connor as a magazine photographer's gofer pretending to make a cover girl of a chorine (Debbie Reynolds) in order to impress her, then heading for disaster as he tries to make good his empty promises. The family scenes have a touch of Meet Me in St Louis, and the numbers choreographed by Robert Alton - including a football ballet (with Reynolds as the football) and a roller-skating dance for O'Connor - are bright and breezily inventive.
