They knew how to make entertainements in those days ! I remember my father who said : "When we went out of the theater, your mother and I, we were full of joy, and hope for all the week." Nowadays, if we go to the cinema, we go out desperated or frightened. Thanks for sharing this little gem ; just too bad that Betty Grable had not a real singing and dancing partner, but she is lovely and she makes the show, and so does the unique Charlotte Greenwood.

There are good movies these days, but you have to look for them. I saw "IF" a few days ago, and it's very good. Same for "Journey to Bethlehem", "Sonic the Hedgehog" and so on. Most movies today are either really violent, trashy, and foul-mouthed. But there are exceptions.

I've never seen or heard of this before but it was very enjoyable. Loved the storyline and the stars playing the parts. Great to have it in colour the only thing that let it down was the inserted advertising which even cut song numbers in half; this spoilt the whole film! Very badly timed and I'm sure others would agree. When you want entertainment the musical numbers shouldn't be cut up like this it's very disappointing. It needed some respect on when to make advert breaks.
