Synopsis
"Notoriously pretty and wearing her dancing tights with aplomb" (Newsweek), Elizabeth Taylor makes her screen transition from junior miss to romantic ingenue in this frothy frolic directed by Stanley Donen (Singin' in the Rain). Taylor plays small-town dance instructor Stacie Macaboy, who travels to New York for a dance convention -- and finds herself unconventionally attracted to hardboiled Broadway talent agent Jud Parker (The Jolson Story star Larry Parks). When romance leads to talk of marriage, the budding relationship takes a clumsy misstep. But Stacie and her dad (Tom Tully) cleverly scheme to put the brash and bullheaded Jud on his toes, leading to some hilarious scenes involving Stacie's impish students and a climactic dance recital that showcases Parks' slapstick talents.
