Crosby Kelly Holden Shine In Drama Filled Film
Review notes Bing Crosby delivers a deep dramatic turn in a demanding role with Crosby’s transformation away from his traditional image. Grace Kelly impresses with substantial dramatic weight, while Holden remains effortlessly excellent. Anthony Ross provides a strong supporting performance as a calculating producer. A featurette titled Assignment Children, featuring Danny Kaye as UNICEF ambassador, tops the bill as a heart warmer.
