I was pleasantly surprised to find the stylistic arrangements of Ms. Peggy Lee crooning several favorite tunes of the day. She has a most melodic voice and is absolutely stunning! I found her performance the most worthwhile aspect of this film.
Danny Kay appears to try overly hard to make his character believable and moves more towards the theatrical vs emotionally wrought. Kay's comedy routines fall flat and is overshadowed by Ms. Lee in every scene. I could not wait to see more of her and was disappointed in her mostly secondary role. I think the only scene that let her acting chops shine bright was the phone call to Kay from the swanky New York apartment party.
High recommend for Lee's rare film performance and sumptuous temple interior shots.
