- Bundle of Joy
I had never even heard of this movie until I saw it on TCM about a year ago.It is a cute story about a young salesgirl Polly (Debbie Reynolds) who ends up getting fired from her job.

This was Eddie's chance to shine.He'd had his own television shows for about three years before he made the mistake of marrying Debbie Reynolds.It was not a marriage, but a publicity stunt which went bad.She had to try to outshine him in his movie debut, but couldn't quite manage it.I loved her in 'Tammy and the Batchelor' but then she was pretending to be a young, backward Southern girl in love with an older man who was pledged to someone else, a sophisticated pure-bred.

- A not so funny musical comedy
This movie aired recently on TCM. It was a remake of Bachelor Mother which starred Ginger Rogers.Bachelor Mother was considerably better than this dud.
Basically the script is quite poor and not very funny. Eddie Fisher, while possesing a nice voice, just doesn't cut it as an actor. Debbie Reynolds does her usual good job but she simply can't carry this movie out of its mediocrity.
I feel I was quite generous in giving this movie two stars.
