 There is "nothing wrong" with this movie June 29, 2004
This is deffinatly one of the more romantic Grayson-Sinatra movies. The songs are great and J. Carrol Naish is very funny!! There is a wonderful "Dance of Fury" in which Ann Miller, Ricardo Montalban, and Cyd Charrise do some Spanish dancing. You know how in all the old movies the man always serenades the woman, well that does happen in this movie, but in return, Kathryn Grayson serenades Frank Sinatra! So as you can see, this movie does have it's comedy, but it's really a romantic love story about two totally different kinds of people. This is a must see!

 Stealthisreview June 22, 2004
It seems to me that the studios found themselves with an enormous talent on their hands named Frank Sinatra, but did not know what to do with him. So they stuck him in these silly films that would appeal to his bobby soxer fans (who'll see anything he's in good or bad) to make a fast buck. The studio was really doing him and his audience a disservice by not making better use of his talents with excellent scripts and songs. Wasted talent. Anyway, Frank sings nicely and looks adorable in his period costumes, but why must they keep casting him as the innocent lunkhead--very repititious casting. There is no reason a romantic comedy couldn't be better written. This is still a fun film to watch for Frank fans (and I guess Grayson fans and other minor character actors).
 Game Over June 22, 2004
Although others' reviews warned me this was a formulaic film, I was surprised at just how bad it was. It is arguably Gene Kelly's worst performance--totally hammy and annoying. Even his dancing energy seems off, and he's clearly bored. Frank is limited in his role as the innocent. The musical numbers are pretty awful. I was bored and disappointed.
 The Kissing Bandit January 7, 2002
The reviews I had read about this film were not very good and it had put me of purchasing it, but I'm glad I did as I find it a very funny film that is everything a good musical should be. I think Frank Sinatra is good in the film even though it is said that this film destoyed his career, but then maybe my tastes are different from most.
