A Date with Judy

Jane Powell and Elizabeth Taylor headline this youthful musical comedy in which they play two teenage best friends who team up to help Jane's father Wallace Beery after they suspect him of having an affair with Brazilian fireball Carmen Miranda. Actually, the portly Beery is really only taking dance lessons from the lithe, lively Miranda so he can surprise his beloved wife. When not meddling in her father's affairs, Powell and Taylor find their friendship tested after they fall for the same cute guy. Songs include: "Cuanto la Gusta," "Strictly on the Corny Side," "Judaline," "Temptation," and "Mulligatawny."
