Description
Mistaken identity and crossed heart strings result when a cheerful, out-of-work salesgirl is mistaken for the mother of an abandoned infant. Although she tries to explain the situation at first, she is soon singing a different tune when the baby helps her win back her job, win over the boss's son and discover her own maternal instincts. This musical version of Ginger Rogers' classic, Bachelor Mother (1939), is the only film to team America's favorite newlyweds of the 1950s, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. Year: 1956 Director: Norman Taurog Starring: Eddie Fiher, Debbie Reynolds, Adolphe Menjou, Tommy Noonan, Nita Talbot, Una Merkel
Customer reviews for 'Bundle of Joy'
«Bundle of Joy»
I had never even heard of this movie until I saw it on TCM about a year ago. It is a cute story about a young salesgirl Polly (Debbie Reynolds) who ends up getting fired from her job. On the way back to her house she sees a young baby on the orphanage steps and saves it from a terrible fall. When she takes the baby into the orphanage they think it is her baby that she is giving them. The employees think that because she was fired she can't provide for "her" baby so they convince her boss to give her the job back. She ends up realizing later in the movie how much she loves the baby and wants to keep it. She meets the man of her dreams (ironically her real husband, Eddie Fisher) and adopts the baby.
When are they going to put this movie on DVD?

«Eddie When Young & Talented.»
This was Eddie's chance to shine. He'd had his own television shows for about three years before he made the mistake of marrying Debbie Reynolds. It was not a marriage, but a publicity stunt which went bad. She had to try to outshine him in his movie debut, but couldn't quite manage it. I loved her in 'Tammy and the Batchelor' but then she was pretending to be a young, backward Southern girl in love with an older man who was pledged to someone else, a sophisticated pure-bred.
The baby was a delightful little actor. He looked just like Buddy Hackett. The Christmas theme set it off with beautiful Technicolor, and Eddie's 'mumbling' in the interview scene was reminiscent of someone I know. Being the son of the store owner, he could have any girl he wanted, but he again made a mistake by choosing one he thought was 'experience' since she already had a child.
The music was spectacular. This is Eddie at his best!

«A not so funny musical comedy»
This movie aired recently on TCM. It was a remake of Bachelor Mother which starred Ginger Rogers. Bachelor Mother was considerably better than this dud. Basically the script is quite poor and not very funny. Eddie Fisher, while possesing a nice voice, just doesn't cut it as an actor. Debbie Reynolds does her usual good job but she simply can't carry this movie out of its mediocrity. I feel I was quite generous in giving this movie two stars.
