PLOT SYNOPSIS
"Seventeen-year-old Patti Robsinson (Jane Powell) unexpectedly finds herself in a lovers' triangle for the attentions of a dashing Latin (Ricardo Montalban) in Two Weeks With Love. However, it's 1913, and Patti just can't compete with an older and more sophisticated rival (Valerie Kirk) because her mother (Ann Harding) thinks her too young to wear a corset, something no real femme fatale of the time would be without. Her doting father (Louis Calhern) secretly buys her this essential piece of underwear, but accidentally purchases a surgical corset whose unique features get Powell and Montalban into some hilarious and rib-tickling situations. Debbie Reynolds, as the irrepressible younger sister, joins song and dance man Carelton Carpenter in the delightful classic number 'Aba Daba Honeymoon.' "

NOTES
"Though Jane Powell, Ricardo Montalban, Louis Calhern and Ann Harding were all billed above her, it was cute little Debbie Reynolds who hogged most of the notices for Two Weeks With Love, a nostalgic, turn of the century musical. . .Together Reynolds and [Carleton] Carpenter performed 'Aba Daba Honeymoon'. . .which was the highlight of producer Jack Cummings's entrancing little film."
- Clive Hirschhorn, The Hollywood Musical
"A fresh note in all departments sparks Two Weeks. A comparatively young cast, strongly underlined by the experience of a few oldsters, a script chuckful of amusing situations, direction that belts every one and a catalog of old songs that fits aptly into the story's period are among the points that sock over."
