Reviews
"This lively musical comedy by George Cukor was the Hollywood debut of French actor Yves Montand. But actually the standard love story is entertaining only because of the good humored performer. At that time filled the affair between Monroe and Montand the sides of the scandal sheets. "
" Marilyn Monroe scored in Let's make love some of the loudest laughs of their lives ... It's a hilarious, silly and really refreshing joke ... Marilyn is actually a comparison with Mary Martin and sings in her first scene ' My heart belongs to Daddy '. In the performance I attended, there was the audience applause. "
