With live television just less than a decade away, the movies utilized many forms of musical entertainment to fill out there be musical output. This Universal musical, released at the tail end of the war, is short on plot but long on amusement, featuring musical acts, comedy specialties and overloaded with talents that seem very familiar even if they're not the entertainers that you think they are. What little bit of plot that is there revolves around nightclub entertainers Vivian Austin and Edward Norris, with the Delta Rhythm Boys and a Betty Hutton look-alike imitator so obvious that I'm surprised Paramount Studios didn't sue.
That imitator is Judy Clark, a talented and gifted comical singer who adds some gymnastics into her routine and practically steals the show. Maxie Rosenbloom gives another schtick performance in the stereotypical role of the dumb lug which will get either groans or loud laughter depending on how you relate to his brand of comedy. It's not so much a solid plot as plot elements interrupting the musical moments to give the slight impression of a storyline. Clem Bevans and Minna Gombell (in the role of a dizzy matron) stand out among others in the ensemble. This is a perfect example of an entertaining bottom of the bill future where you hope that the main film is much better.
