HAPPY-GO-LOVELY
(Associated British) \V HEN I saw the ttrailer for this show I thought, for one numbing moment, that we were going to see Cesar Romero as a kilted Scotsman. However, as it turns out, he has the part of a brash U.S. musical show producer struggling desperately (against the odds which always afflict producers in screen musicals) to get his show under way in Edinburgh at Festiva] time. To that extent the setting is novel -Edinburgh looks well in Technicolor and most of the accents are genuinebut the situations are painfully hackneyed, and little use is made of severe] good players (John Laurie, Wylie Watson, for example) in the~ cast. VeraEllen, however, is delightful when she’s dancing, and David Niven is a model of diffident charm.
