Description:
Mistaken identity and crossed heart strings result when a cheerful, out-of-work salesgirl is mistaken for the mother of an abandoned infant. Although she tries to explain the situation at first, she is soon singing a different tune when the baby helps her win back her job, win over the boss's son and discover her own maternal instincts. This musical version of Ginger Rogers' classic, Bachelor Mother (1939), is the only film to team America's favorite newlyweds of the 1950s, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. Year: 1956 Director: Norman Taurog Starring: Eddie Fiher, Debbie Reynolds, Adolphe Menjou, Tommy Noonan, Nita Talbot, Una Merkel

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bundle of Joy
I had never even heard of this movie until I saw it on TCM about a year ago. It is a cute story about a young salesgirl Polly (Debbie Reynolds) who ends up getting fired from her job. On the way back to her house she sees a young baby on the orphanage steps and saves it from a terrible fall.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Eddie When Young & Talented.
This was Eddie's chance to shine. He'd had his own television shows for about three years before he made the mistake of marrying Debbie Reynolds.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A not so funny musical comedy
This movie aired recently on TCM. It was a remake of Bachelor Mother which starred Ginger Rogers. Bachelor Mother was considerably better than this dud.

Basically the script is quite poor and not very funny. Eddie Fisher, while possesing a nice voice, just doesn't cut it as an actor. Debbie Reynolds does her usual good job but she simply can't carry this movie out of its mediocrity.

I feel I was quite generous in giving this movie two stars.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great movie for little girls!
I fell in love with this movie as a young girl. It has been one of my favorites ever since and is now one of my 10 year old sister's favorites. It's a great movie that I'll definitely share with my kids.
