Dan- ny by the way is of Syrian descent. Several years ago he appeared at a swank nightclub on Miami Beach an his personal magnetism, assum- ed, but basically natural (that’s a paradox), won the audiences night after night. He repeats this person- ality projection during all the “stage” interludes, and now and then when he is being serious’ in the Yilm. His supporting actress Peggy Lee looks so much like Ginger Rog- ers, but with brown eyes, that first glimpse is startling. Another sing- ing actress refused this role of the musical comedy thrush who falls in love with Danny, probably be- cause the main portion of the pic- ture goes of course to Thomas. The story has a spiritual theme, which seems inconsistent, all mix- ed up, dovetailed and interwoven with the show business story. | Danny returns from Korea where he met Peggy Lee (film name is | Judy Lane) on USO tour and) wants to continue with her in show business. However, his fam- ily background demands that he follow his father in a long line of synagogue cantors.
