Watch her dance!

The love story in "Happy Go Lovely" is rather predictable, and leading man David Niven, while charming as always, was neither a singer nor a dancer, which would seem to be a liability for a musical. In fact, the main reason you should see this picture at all is to watch Vera-Ellen dance. She was phenomenal! A onetime dance partner of both Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, she used dance, with spectacular results, as emotional and physical therapy to help her overcome an unhappy early life (she was probably anorexic before there was a name for it). For more information, I refer readers to her bio in imdb.com
