steve d @RT35616104 07/21/2020 Pleasant but really dull. See more Thomas M @TMProofreader 02/01/2019 The best movie song ever sung: In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening! See more s r @ScottR 01/24/2017 I'm a sucker for Crosby I guess. See more 01/19/2017 good late career directorial effort from master director, frank capra. See more 07/12/2016 Frank Capra's comedy with music (the Oscar-winning "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening") is a pleasant diversion. See more 06/28/2013 The first twenty minutes are interminably slow, with all momentum stalled by two seemingly never-ending musical numbers. Once that's out of the way, things settle down into a decent lighthearted comedy, with a fine performance from Crosby and the usual Capra addition of a little social commentary. Cut out all the song and dance stuff, which mostly feels tacked on, and you've got yourself something a little more like the old Capra. See more Read all reviews
