In this lightweight musical comedy, Judy Foster (
Jane Powell) and Carol Pringle (
Elizabeth Taylor) are teenagers and best friends who find their loyalties tested when they both fall for the same good-looking older man, Stephen Andrews (
Robert Stack). This situation is particularly troublesome for Judy, who already has a boyfriend, "Oogie" Pringle (
Scotty Beckett), Carol's brother. Meanwhile, the girls join forces for a little sleuthing when Judy discovers that her father, Melvin Foster (
Wallace Beery), has been spending time with Brazilian bombshell Rosita Conchellas (
Carmen Miranda). Judy and Carol suspect hanky-panky, but actually Melvin is taking dancing lessons from Rosita as a surprise for his wife.
A Date With Judy certainly offers your only opportunity to see
Wallace Berry dance the mambo, and it also features a guest appearance by
Xavier Cugat and his band.
