...twelve-year-old Bibi Bonnard (Bobby Driscoll) in the Ottawa of the '20s. The picturesque Bonnard family, headed by a kind, understanding papa (Charles Boyer) and strait-laced maman (Marsha Hunt), includes lovable, lecherous old grand-père (Marcel Dalio), who chases after widows, Uncle Louis (Kurt Kasznar), who drinks vast quantities of white wine from a water cooler, and Uncle Desmonde (Louis Jourdan), a traveling salesman who collects ladies' garters...
...Orleans melodrama worth the trouble. Also involved in the proceedings: a cocky prizefighter (Ralph Meeker) who quits the ring because of a mental block, but then proves himself a hero in Korea; a ballet dancer (Leslie Caron) who hoofs in a honky-tonk to support her blind father (Kurt Kasznar).

When a pretty girl (Eva Gabor) comes to help with the housework, love...
Crazy with the Heat (lyrics & music mostly by Irvin Graham, produced by Kurt Kasznar) is the hastily doctored version of a feeble revue that expired a fortnight ago after seven performances. The doctoring has helped but hasn't cured. Good bits: the veteran Willie Howard, whose Jewish accent cannot be cut with a knife, as a ballet dancer; hot little Diosa Costello shaking everything shakeable in a scorching conga...
