This is clearly B-level, churn out product to keep the stars in the public consciousness movie from the MGM musical department. Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor are appropriately spunky and adorable in this inconsequential love story.

Melvin Hoover is a bumbler (except when he’s dancing on skates), a workaday gofer for “Look” magazine (except when he fakes being a big-time photographer), and in love (without exception) with Broadway chorine Judy LeRoy. Melvin convinces Judy he can send her star aloft by putting her on the cover of “Look.” Now he has to make it happen! SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN’s Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor dazzle again in I LOVE MELVIN. Highlights include glorious Manhattan locales, Debbie portraying the tossed-about football in a gridiron stage piece, and Donald romping through the delirious “I Wanna Wander.”

Release date: 20 March 1953

“This is clearly B-level, churn out product to keep the stars in the public consciousness movie from the MGM musical department. Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor are appropriately spunky and adorable in this inconsequential love story. I’ll be damned if I can remember anything from the score, but I do remember Reynolds dressed as a football and being tossed around and O’Connor tapping in roller skates. I know that I watched I Love Melvin but even ten minutes after it ended, I was already having a hard time remembering much of it. There are worse ways to spend 75 minutes, and I Love Melvin is eager to please enough during its running time.” read more
