Director:
David Lowell Rich
Writers:
Raphael Hayes, James WestStars:
Louis Prima, Keely Smith, James Gregory, Sam Butera And The Witnesses
Meant primarily as TV fare, this standard, song-filled romantic drama stars Louis Prima as himself, and his real-life wife Keely Smith as Dorothy Spencer, a devout woman with a good singing voice. Dorothy is active in her local parish which like all parishes, is constantly thinking of ways to raise funds. One of the needy projects is a boys' camp, so when Dorothy is approached by Louis Prima to sing with his band she agrees only on one condition -- that he perform a concert benefit for the parish church and boys' camp. The interactions between Dorothy and Prima lead toward romance and a happy ending, as well as a popular album with the same title song featured in this film.

Delightful musical comedy!
The entire film is built around the great musical talent of bandleader Louis Prima and his gorgeous wife great singer Keely Smith. Prima was a natural for comedy and Keely Smith was actually a fine actress.
