The last review here was written in 2011, 11 years ago! That reflects my previous frustration in finding a source for this decent colorful musical. If you like '40s/'50s 'minor' musicals, you now lack an excuse not to view it.

It features June Haver and Gloria DeHaven, 2 Fox B musical leads, who play musical sisters, performing together, or singly, or with Irish tenor Dennis Day. Harry James' orchestra is also present for some numbers. Lots of familiar favorites are featured, instead of hit or miss new songs. There's a young Steve Allen, as a disc jockey, and perennial favorite Thelma Ritter. Triple threat Dan Dailey makes a cameo appearance at the end, exhibiting some singing and dancing. My main gripe is that Dan should have taken the place of bland William Lundigan, hopefully providing more humor and some additional Dan-styled dancing.
