Yep. If you like old b&w, this is a good one. Jimmy Stewart is priceless,
and Frank 'the Wizard' Morgan is fun in a totally different character. They
retain the location of the original play, Budapest, which makes it
interesting.

'twas also done as 'In the Good Old Summertime' with Judy Garland and Van
Johnson. Fun to watch just for S. Z. 'Cuddles' Sakall, even in spite of the
least interesting role Buster Keaton ever played.
