Synopsis: This musical version of
Ginger Rogers' classic,
Bachelor Mother
(1939), is the only film to team America's favorite newlyweds
of the 1950s, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. Mistaken identity
and crossed heart strings result when a cheerful, out-of-work
salesgirl Polly Parrish (Reynolds) is mistaken for the mother
of an abandoned infant. Although she tries to explain the situation
at first, she is soon singing a different tune when the baby helps
her win back her job, win over the boss's son and discover her
own maternal instincts.
*
Bundle of Joy features a dance contest where Jitterbuggers take
to the floor. Debbie Reynolds is dancing in the contest with her
partner and Fisher gets jealous and enters, except he can't swing
to well. Reynolds does a pretty good job. Vintage California West
Coast Swing dancers Gil
and Nicky Brady
and Lenny Smith shine
here as well as Gil Hernandez. |
