movie review of Lovely to Look At (1952) starring Howard Keel, Kathryn Grayson, Red Skelton, Ann Miller

 Lovely to Look At is a combination romance, musical, comedy, and fashion show — no, really.   It’s the story of three Americans (Al Marsh played by Red Skelton, Tony Naylor played by Howard Keel, Jerry Ralby played by Gower Champion). They are looking for financial backers for the Broadway show they want to put on … unsuccessfully.   They are out of options, when Al’s Aunt Roberta dies. She left him with partial ownership of a fashionable Paris dress shop.

I Love an Esquire Girl lyrics

I Love an Esquire Girl lyrics   —  Music by Roger Edens, lyrics by Lew Brown and Ralph Freed, sung in the movie DuBarry Was A Lady by Red Skelton

When I buy an Esquire,
The bible of the well-dressed man,
My pulse jumps ten points higher,
But not because of each dapper dan!
I don’t go in for fashions,
I forget the authors’ names,
The only thing I go for
Are those beautiful dames!

I Love an Esquire Girl lyrics
