The unpleasant “Slade” (Victor Killan) tests the boundaries at a wedding, prompting the groom (Joel McCrae) to intervene when he tries to kiss the bride (Barbara Stanwyck), resulting in him being thrown into the river! Worried about his disappearance, “Ernie” flees, leaving “Pearl” under the care of her father, “Newt” (Walter Brennan). After six months, he reappears with a proposal for them all to move somewhere else. "Pearl" refuses to be parted from him again, and an argument develops that leads to their separation. A series of misunderstandings then unfold over a small sum of twelve dollars; some involve dishwashing while “Leota” (Katherine De Mille) finds herself attracted to Ernie, “Chick” (Tony Martin) to her, and by the time they return to their Mississippi houseboat, it's unclear who will end up marrying whom. However, there’s not much real suspense in this rather predictable and underwhelming film. It doesn’t seem like Stanwyck or McCrae are having a good time, and if it weren’t for the consistently dependable Brennan and the playful granny (Helen Westley), the movie would simply vanish. There are some pleasant musical numbers sprinkled throughout, with Brennan, McCrae, and Miss Stanwyck singing with differing levels of skill. The group performance on “Where the Lazy River Goes By” is particularly memorable, though the title song is also a catchy tune that, combined with more conventional musical elements, offers an agreeable display of talented performers attempting to create something worthwhile from rather limited material. There's some fighting, a decent storm sequence, and a kimono, so prepare yourself.
