How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A frothy musical comedy where a ventriloquist unwittingly becomes entangled in international espionage, with his dummy sidekicks serving as both romantic obstacles and unwitting accomplices. It's the kind of vintage Hollywood entertainment that juggles broad comedy, elaborate musical numbers, and spy-thriller intrigue with cheerful absurdity.
