The Happy Road is a 1957 French-American comedy film starring Gene Kelly, Barbara Laage, Michael Redgrave and Bobby Clark. The plot involves two runaway students and the efforts of their respective parents to locate them.
Production
Writing for TCM on June 22, 2005, Jeremy Arnold observed: “The Happy Road is a modest production (undoubtedly one of the reasons Kelly chose it to direct and produce) and though uneven, it's often warm and charming with some fine comic episodes. At its best, it reveals Kelly relying on his own unique strengths as a film artist.
