Melvin Hoover, a budding photographer for Look magazine, accidentally bumps into a young actress named Judy LeRoy in the park. They start to talk, and Melvin soon offers to do a photo spread of her. His boss, however, has no intention of using the photos. Melvin wants to marry Judy, but her father would rather she marry dull and dependable Harry Black. As a last resort, Melvin promises to get Judy's photo on the cover of the next issue of Look, a task easier said than done.

Ver a Debbie Reynolds hacer de pelota de futbol americano en un número musical mientras bailarines futbolistas la revoloteaban en el aire debe ser de las mejores cosas que me pasó
Benditos sean los musicales viejos

Not totally sure why she loved Melvin because he kinda sucked and the other guy was way better it seems, but Donald O’Connor is a real cutie pie so maybe that’s it?
