The better of the two Busby Berkeley musicals from 1937, thanks in large part to just having a lot of great music from the likes of Benny Goodman and Johnny Mercer. Like Varsity Show, the bit players are the ones that leave more of an impression. Mabel Todd was just precious; and Glenda Farrell, though stuck with a mostly thankless secretarial role, does the best she can. Ted Healy was...Ted Healy. Unfortunately, there was practically none of Berkeley's famously intricate choreography. Also, I want whatever drug Hugh Herbert was on when he made this. Dude was on some other planet the whole time.
