Frank Sinatra should have played the ex-husband



Bing Crosby should have been her father!

I agree. Frank Sinatra had more suave and was more handsome to be an ex-boyfriend of Tracey's and he would have more dialogue. Bing Crosby should have just swapped places and been Mike.

Remember you have another hand:the first is to help yourself,the second is to help others.

It was written into G. Kelly's contract (per her fetish) that all her onscreen romances feature an actor 25+ years her senior playing the main interest. I'm sure that at the least she ended up trying to seduce the man who played her father, anyway.

Really? Where did you pick that up?

Also, Holden co-starred with her twice and he's 11 years older than Kelly. Maybe there's a bit of a mix-up?

I'm pretty sure Jane was being sarcastic.

I would think something like that being in a contract would be more well known.

I agree, I'd never seen it before until now and for two minutes there I honestly thought she was going to end up with Mike! to which I was thrilled because she and Frank Sinatra go well together, but torn because I wanted her with Dexter^^
Bing Crosby did a brilliant job though, and didn't look like her father. I just think it would have worked better with the two of them switched.
Then again...


We're drawing up a plan for world domination. The key element? Coffee makers that think.

I could not agree more!

Bing Crosby should have played the fater

Hasn't anyone noticed that this isn't the only time Bing was her leading man?
She won an Oscar portraying his wife in THE COUNTRY GIRL.

I'm the kind of guy, when I move - watch my smoke. But I'm gonna need some good clothes though.
