Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Pedestrian Minneli comedy headlining Rex Harrison.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
There are some quite funny moments in this American comedy about high-society folderol in London, but the pace is often sluggish and the atmosphere strained.

Maclean's Magazine
Rating: C --
Minnelli's comedy about the British upper class is one of his least successful films due to incongruous casting of all-American Sandra Dee as the daughter of Rex Harrison and Kay Kendall.

Visually creative comedy-love story.

Rating: C+ --
A vintage drawing-room comedy that's flimsy, lacks any edge and plays out as an exercise in high style Brit comedy.

Description by OLDIES.com:
It's social season in London, and amid the swirl of coming-out balls the aristocratic Broadbents (real-life marrieds Rex Harrison and Kay Kendall) are intent on giving their American-educated 17-year-old daughter Jane (Sandra Dee) the right entry into society and a proper upper-class beau. One complication: flighty Mabel Claremont (Angela Lansbury) is eager to match that same beau with her daughter. And another: Jane, of course, has her own ideas about these matters - and an eye for a guy (John Saxon) who's a drummer in the dance band. Comedy is in season for The Reluctant Debutante, a rib-tickler of societal foibles and follies given spirited direction by Vincente Minnelli and featuring a full dance card of deft badinage.
Product Description:
A pair of British high society members host a beautiful young American visitor who falls for an American instead of the snooty English boy her stepmother has arranged for her debut.
