Jane Powell plays Dodie, a young lady who is itching to marry a millionaire. While that is certainly her right, in the process she treats the men around her pretty shabbily. First, one guy asks her to marry him and she agrees...but also thinks it's okay to keep looking in case she can find a millionaire instead! Second, she meets a guy who she thinks is a millionaire...and she he isn't, she's angry at HIM! She later becomes engaged to him as well. And, finally, she meets an actual millionaire and accepts his offer to marry him. Considering her word in nothing and she uses men, the film "The Girl Most Likely" sure has a lot working against it! After all, you would expect to like the leading lady in a romantic musical comedy!!! This is a huge strike against the picture, that's for sure...and she's either a bad person or a very dim one!
Unfortunately, the movie doesn't just suffer when it comes to the leading character. The music, unfortunately, isn't very good and a few of the production numbers are downright irritating, such as "Gotta Keep Up with the Joneses" and "I'm Just Crazy About Crazy Horse". Who thought of these songs??
Overall, a very unappealing film from start to finish.
