Synopsis: Constance Shaw (Powell)
is a dance star on Broadway, Joseph Rivington Reynolds (Skelton)
is a keen fan of hers. After she is fed up with her friend, she
meets Joseph and marries him, because she thinks he is the owner
of a mine. But that's a missunderstanding, he works at a cleaning
shop as a pants-presser. After disturbing rehearsals he is thrown
out of the theater, but when he sneaks in again, he discovers
his boss talking about a bomb they want to set in the theater
to blow up an ammunition store next door. Does Skelton save the
day?

It's full of laughs, music and dance. Eleanor
Powell
does some great dancing and this is the film she knocked herself
out cold rehersing the Lariat Dance scene. There are even two
Kids doing some very good Hollywood style Lindy Hop and in a zoot
suit to-boot!. Buck and
Bubbles appear and do a great Tap dance routine. Lena Hornes
does a Song and dance. |
