Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, along with VistaVision, keep the enteratinment going in this fancifully staged production, clicking well.
The whole thing is rather forced and antiseptically cheerful.
Director Michael Curtiz has made his picture look good. It is too bad that it doesn't hit the eardrums and the funnybone with equal force.
