Take a trip back to the early forties, and the big band era. There's Glenn Miller and his Orchestra on the bandstand, playing in its inimitable manner. John Payne's on as the leading man, Lynn Bari's adding spice to the other woman, and the legendary Sonja Henie is an effervescent leading lady.
Henie's veratility is displayed to great advantage here: a bubbling personality, gifted comedienne, and breathtaking figure skater. Milton Berle's along for laughs, and there's a rare specialty number with the Nicholas Brothers and a young Dorothy Dandridge.
A marvelous song, "I Know Why and So Do You," is given the spotlight, and a prototype black and white "B-film" production reveals a "formula 20th Century Fox musical" of the period.
It's all dandy fun, with some nifty situations, and great laughs. Like the specialty-song goes, "Chattanooga Choo-Choo, won't you Choo-Choo Me Home?"
