A Digression - Has Anybody Seen My Gal? review by CH
Although filmed in the technicolour for which Sirk's takes on Fifties life are celebrated, this first excursion in it is a throwback to the Twenties and the story - about a millionaire who considers leaving a fortune to the familt of an old flame- is not a patch on the work which follows it. Lacking here is the wherewithal to make for a whimsical comedy in which songs come to the fore now and then. Better to catch up with his earlier work if one has already seen All I Desire and its successors.
