Synopsis: Leggy Eleanor Powell is
a conniving talent promoter in the stable of flamboyant publicist
Gus Crane, whose wild and crazy promotions became legendary. Crane's
strait-laced son 'Junior' doesn't want to be like his dad in the
business, but when Junior (O'Keefe) takes over the business, he
finds himself inadvertently filling the father's shoes. Will Powell
fall for Junior? This is W.C Fields last film. Nominated for Oscar.

Machine to the accompaniment of Woody Herman's music. Also Circus
