I Love Melvin

Comedy, Romance · 1953APPROVED

Melvin Hoover is a bumbler (except when he's dancing on skates), a workaday go-fer for Look magazine (except when he fakes being a big-time photog) and in love (without exception) with Broadway chorine Judy LeRoy. Melvin convinces Judy he can send her star aloft by putting her on the cover of Look. Now he has to make it happen! Singin' in the Rain's Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor dazzle again like July 4 sparklers in I Love Melvin. Highlights include glorious Manhattan locales, Debbie portraying the tossed-about football in a gridiron stage piece and Donald romping through the delirious Make 'Em Laugh-styled I Wanna Wander. There's lots to love here.
