Peter Myers was especially amusing and I thought the set design was marvelous. Reluctante Debutante should be more recognized than it is.

She projected such a natural innocence. It's a shame her career didn't work better, but she faced a lot of personal challenges from what I've read.

I'm thrilled that Rex Harrison and Kay Kendall were able to make such a fun film together before she passed. They were both fine comedic actors and this film is a prime example.
