Overlong, frightfully dull musical has MacMurray as an eccentric millionaire living in Philadelphia with wife Garson, daughter Warren, and a number of pet alligators. This was the last film Walt Disney had anything to do with. Trade-shown at 164 minutes, later cut to 141 before release.
The film received an Oscar nomination for Best Costume Design. Songs include: "What's Wrong with That?" "Watch Your Footwork," "Valentine Candy," "Strengthen the Dwelling," "I'll Always Be Irish," "Bye-Yum Pum Pum," "I Believe in This Country," "Detroit," "There Are Those," "When a Man Has a
Daughter," "Let's Have a Drink on It," "Are We Dancing?" "La Belle Fille d'Amour," "It Won't Be Long 'til Christmas," and "Fortuosity" (Richard B. and Robert M. Sherman).
