More a Showing of Harry James than Plot Development
13 February 2017
This is one of those musicals, common in the 1930s & 40s, that was more of a display of orchestras than for plot development. In the 1930s & 40s many musicals were created for the purpose of displaying some famous orchestra. Such musicals showed little plot development. This is one such musical.

Charlotte Greenwood is given the opportunity several times to show her extraordinary ability for high kicking, but it was out of place with regard to the overall plot.

An excessive amount of time is given to Harry James and his orchestra. Harry James' character is totally inconsequential to the plot.

Helen Forrest sings a number that takes up several minutes, but does not appear in the film at any other time.

What plot development there is, is fairly interesting as Vicky Lane & Dan Christy jump in and our of love for each other, as other romantic relationships develop as well.
