Adam Calhorn Shaw (Edmund Purdom) is a lawyer with a peach tree problem. He and Beth Hallson (Linda Christian) are a conservative couple. They don't know what to make of number-obsessed flighty arborist Athena Mulvain (Jane Powell). She's also the oldest of seven sisters. She introduces Adam's singing friend Johnny Nyle (Vic Damone) to her sister Minerva (Debbie Reynolds). Their grandfather (Louis Calhern) is training bodybuilders.
I like Athena's wackiness. Adam's a stiff. They could work as a couple, but he fits better as a stiff couple with Beth. Vic Damone and Debbie Reynolds are a fun musical secondary couple. I don't mind them at all. The bodybuilding part is a bit strange relative to a musical rom-com. This is an odd mix.
