Golden Girl (1951)

Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Lloyd Bacon
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

A spunky 20-year-old Mitzi Gaynor plays a stagestruck country girl who goes gaga over saloon hall singer Lola Montez. When her father loses the family boarding house gambling, they hit the road intent on making Mitzi a star. She falls in love with southern rascal Dale Robertson, who may or may not be using her for his own gambling aspirations. The Civil War intrudes on the festivities breaking up their budding romance. Occasionally diverting Americana spiced up by the music of Lionel Newman and company make for an enjoyable, if predictable, Technicolor musical.
