A musical romance directed by Edwin L. Marin, starring Judy Garland.
A girl and her friend kidnap the girl's mother and brother to prevent a marriage. They go on a short road trip on a quest to find new suitors.
The best part of this film was the first 10 minutes, featuring Judy Garland singing "zing went the strings of my heart". After an opening like that, anything would be a rough downhill slide. There were some odd things that happened though. The first is that the man they didn't want Judy's "mother" marrying was called Mr. Drugs. Once everyone agrees about the road trip, there is a driving song about butt sex. "on the bumpy road to love" contains the lyrics "We'll go bumpty, bumpty, bumpty, bump on the bumpy road to love" and "home sweet home is in the rear". I can't think of any other meaning for a song like that. I'm giving this one a mixed rating.
