This sequel to BABES IN ARMS is slightly superior, serving up Rooney and Garland in everything from soup to nuts. BROADWAY presents Rooney at his enthuiastic peak, especially when he impersonates Carmen Miranda, but he's still eclipsed by Garland when she sings "F.D.R. Jones". Minstrel finale, and tributes to past theatrical performers are dynamite moments. Trivia fans should watch for Joe Yule, Rooney's father, as Mason, and for the debut of Margaret O'Brien. Burton Lane and Ralph Freed's "How About You?" earned an Oscar nomination. leave a comment
