6/10
Budget-Minded But Gaudy Musical
24 December 2020
Lloyd Corrigan is backing Forrest Tucker's Paris-themed night club, while he keeps show star Margaret Whiting and her sister, Barbara Whiting on the string. The show is about to open when Corrigan's son and daughter show up and explain that Corrigan has no money. Tucker sees doom, but the show must go on, and so it does, for the next hour, with a few bouts of star temperament from Margaret, some jokes from Dick Wesson, ending with a big circus number.

If this looks a lot like a television spectacular, that can be laid at the rest of the show's cinematographer, E.B. DuPar. After getting a start at Vitaphone, running the camera on almost 300 shorts, DuPar took on a second job on television. He died in 1961, aged 75.
