Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOnce the Andrews Sisters had established themselves as viable movie stars by performing the Oscar nominated/chart-topping hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" in 1941's Buck Privates, Universal signed the singing siblings to a multi-picture pact. The films, churned out at the rate of two or more per year throughout World War II, were always low budget, top-heavy with musical numbers, and often had popular band-leaders of time (like Harry James or Woody Herman) as co-stars. They were squarely aimed at teenagers, and were a reliable source of profit to the studio.

Throw Whatever's In The Kitchen Sink Into The Stewpot
Billie Burke sponsors a classical music show on the radio that various singers and producers want to turn into a swing show, including her niece, Jane Frazee.
It's a kitchen sink musical meant to star all of Universal's musical talent, including the Andrews Sisters, Gloria Jean doing her junior Deanna Durbin routine, Grace Macdonald, Woody Herman's orchestra (doing a nice version of "Woodchopper's Ball"), nd Leo Carillo and Charles Butterworth each doing variations of sawing a woman in half; Edgar Pangborn is a conductor, and Charles Lane as a producer. There's very little time left for an actual plot, and it's mostly ignored in favor of some nice musical numbers.
Unfortunately the copy I looked at was very fuzzy, even though the sound track seemed in good shape.
