Musical comedy which has father Oakie and daughter Ryan partnered in a vaudeville act. Oakie, a staunch opponent of radio (it will ruin vaudeville) one day finds himself hosting a radio talent show in which he introduces a group of youngsters who have won a contest. The real-life winners of the real-life contest appeared as themselves. Donald O'Connor had originally been scheduled to fill the juvenile spot held by Coy, but O'Connor enlisted--this was WW II, after all--and went off to training camp. The camera lingered long on the sweater of Julie London in her first featured role in films. Songs include: "For Him No Love," "It'll All Come Out in the Wash," "I'm So at Home with You" (Inez James, Sidney Miller), "Stuff Like That There" (Ray Evans, Jay Livingston), "What Do I Have to Do to Be a Star?" (Bobby Kroll), and "Dance With a Dolly With a Hole In Her Stocking" (Terry Shand, Jimmy Eaton, Mickey Leader), "Put Put Put Your Arms Around Me" (Mann Curtis, Al Hoffman, Jerry Livingston), and "Take Me In Your Arms" (Mitchell Parish, Fred Markush, Fritz Rotter). leave a comment
