This was a pleasant trip to yesteryear for lovers of the big band sound. The conflict between the players' wives served as glue to create some semblance of plot to hold the movie together, but the music is the focus. A surprise awaits in the form of the Nicholas Brothers, who could have given Fred Astaire a run for his money had they danced in one of his movies. For simple entertainment, this was an enjoyable way to spend 97 minutes. Close this Review

Fans of the Big Band sound will be interested in this typical wisecracking fluffy comedy from 1942. It features one of only two film roles by the legendary Glenn Miller. There are lots of fimiliar Hollywood faces in a story about catty orchestra wives except for sweet, innocent Ann Rutherford. Great tunes and lots of style abound. The disc includes commentary by Ann and one of the Nicholas Bros. which give fascinating insights into the making of the movie and the era. Close this Review
