Tea for Two (1950)
A story that's a joy to be told! They hitch their lovin' to a song and take everyone along for the ride!
In this reworking of "No, No, Nanette," wealthy heiress Nanette Carter bets her uncle $25,000 that she can say "no" to everything for 48 hours. If she wins, she can invest the money in a Broadway show featuring songs written by her beau, and of course, in which she will star.
