4/10
On the Riviera-Vacation Somewhere Else **

Warning: Spoilers
Predictable Danny Kaye farce with the beauty Gene Tierney attempting to leave drama and go to comedy for a change. Ms. Tierney probably knew that her forte was the former.

We know what's going to happen when Kaye impersonates a debonair look-alike who is having financial difficulties. We know the latter will show up and cause some comic complications.

The cinematography is beautiful and the songs, some of them written by Kaye's wife Sylvia Fine, are flamboyant. Kaye does brief take-offs on Carmen Miranda and Jimmy Durante. They would have been hilarious had he been allowed to pursue them.
