Silly But Fun

This wartime comedy is rather silly, but fun.

Teenager Joan Lyons (Virgina Weidler) is president of a club that collects autographs of Hollywood stars. This script has her remarkably bumping into Hollywood royalty at every turn. The cameos by these stars are unremarkable but entertaining.

The film divides its time between the Nancy Drew-ish efforts of Miss Lyons, as she uses every device and wile to locate and stalk the stars, and the interactions of her family members.

Most of the acting is cartoonish, like a Blondie and Dagwood film. Joans' sidekick, Patricia Drew, is played by Jean Porter. It's a one-dimensional role, and I wish they had made her more integral to the plot.

Enjoy the cameos. And accept the corny humor for what it is: a wartime diversion.
