This is not a great film, but it is worth watching to see Jane Powell ion her first film. She plays herself in the movie. She was given the name Jane Powell by the studio in real life. She is a movie actress who does films and shorts. She fears her mother and does not understand her and she goes to hang out with kids her age that she shot a short film with. Edgar Bergen & W.C. Fields show up along the way to add some star power. Jane Powell looks so young, but her voice is amazing even at that young age. It amazes me how well Jane did acting in this film. She does basically play herself. The kids she hangs with are regular down to earth kids. The films follows them around as they help others. The final scene has everyone helping out pick oranges that will go to the men and women overseas that were at war. Good film and worth a look.
