Clever bit from director William A. Seiter, Deanna Durbin as "Pam," with her tag-along boyfriend (Lewis Howard), then with the kids at the summer stock theater greeting her stage-star mother's friends (Samuel Hinds, S.Z. Sakall) in producer Joe Pasternak's It's A Date, 1940.

Standard fare for this Deanna Durbin vehicle, here playing aspiring star "Pam,' at her summer stock theater, performing the Scottish standard, thoroughly impressing Samuel Hinds and S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall, the producer and playwright who made her mother a Broadway star, in It's A Date, 1940.

Opening scenes, what looks like bad lip-sync turns out to be Deanna Durbin silently singing along with her mother on stage, the certainly dubbed Kay Francis, who then makes a speech, from the Joe Pasternak-produced It's A Date, 1940, also starring Walter Pidgeon.
