It's this sort of overly cheerful and mindless U-rated type of silly comedy/musical that makes ten year-olds give up on movies and turn to rebellion and punk music. It's hard not to cringe watching Grace Kelly embarrass herself in a futile attempt to be a comedienne.
The story is this: a soon-to-be-married diva sleeps around with two other men while her "square" groom makes faces. She goes for older men (two of these three bozos could be her father, and the other, Sinatra, her much older half-brother (assuming the DNA went crazy)). The age discrepancy only adds to the ludicrousness of the whole thing. The songs are forgettable fluff, filled with trumpets and other annoying, high-pitched, loud jazz instruments. Louis Armstrong's voice has been annoying to me ever since I heard that awful "It's a Wonderful Life (My A**)" number. The dumbest line (of dialog, not cocaine) belongs to Kelly, when she asks Sinatra whether the reason he didn't hop into bed with her could have been that she isn't "ATTRACTIVE ENOUGH". Oh, Lord...
