Columbia's Rita Hayworth and Ann Miller had nothing to worry about as far as musical competition in this movie. The only female who sings is built way down in the credits, someone named Amanda Lane who is adequate but certainly not star material. The story focuses on Ellen Drew and Bob Haymes who play a song plugging agent and an agency representative who searched for the composer and lyrics of a song that has made a splash in the nightclub where Lane sings. They end up in a small town in a lot of trouble trying to dig up information on the composer and lyricists,, encountering feisty widow Ethel Griffies who is the cast that anybody would turn her husband's poetry into a song that in real life would probably not end up on the hit parade.

This is simply just a moderately enjoyable musical, a combination of big city sophistication and small-town folksy humor, probably a bit too plot-heavy for its own good. The cast doesn't really include anybody outstanding and the only person outside of Drew and Griffies really instantly recognizable is Mary Gordon as Drew's landlady. The lack of star quality makes this a mostly dull secondary feature whose only remarkable detail is the fact that Drew is fighting to succeed in an obvious man's occupation.
