About this release
Happy Go Lovely -- Digitally Remastered. Through a series of misunderstandings, a lively chorus girl falls in love with a stingy millionaire while performing in a musical overseas. Oscar-winner David Niven, best known for his role in The Pink Panther film series, stars as B.G. Bruno, a wealthy bachelor in Scotland infamous for his foul mood. After he is mistaken as a reporter, he gets mixed up with an American theatre troupe visiting Edinburgh for an arts festival and soon falls in love with a chorus girl (Vera-Ellen). But when a series of mishaps and setbacks threaten the production, their romance is in jeopardy as well. Employing the classic tropes of mistaken identify and class difference, Happy Go Lovely is a rousing showbiz comedy directed by H. Bruce Humberstone.

Rich bachelor B.G. Bruno, the head of a successful greeting-card company in Scotland, is essentially a kind man but respectable to the point of stodginess and extreme stuffiness. An American troupe visiting Edinburgh wants to produce a musical in town but has trouble getting financiers. Bruno meets several leading ladies; through a misunderstanding, he doesn't correct their impression that he's a newspaper reporter.
