Jimmy Connors (Mickey Rooney) plays the drums in the high school band and Mary Holden (Judy Garland) is his girl. Directed by Busby Berkeley, this reunites the trio after their hit, Babes in Arms. It's not quite as good but they are still on a roll. It's the perfect antidote for the war years. This won an Oscar for best sound and nominated for two others. This may not be the tippy top of musicals but it is still a must for any musical lovers and those who love any one of the trio.
