Short Review

Duchess of Idaho is an okay film. It is about Ellen Hallet is in love with her playboy boss, Douglas Morrison. Esther Williams and Van Johnson give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Robert Z. Leonard did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the music and romance.
