Nice, wholesome movie on Father's Day. Glenn, Shirley, Dina, Opie and whole cast did a great job.
I've seen this a few times, but I didn't appreciate Stella Stevens' drumming before! She was for real! What a woman! A charlatan is soon found out; Stella was no phony.
But I thought the subplot, Van Dyke and Stevens, was contrived so that Stella could sit in with the combo (Vito Scotti on flute!)
If so, fine with me.
Not crazy about Eddie hopping on a truck to NYC, though. Kinda unbelievable. Who cares?
Interesting: Ronnie Howard, Mr. Van Dyke are Andy Griffith Show guys. And Glenn Ford's name is mentioned at least twice on same show.
