Movie Info
The Stork Club, the famed New York nightspot immortalized by columnist Walter Winchell (in return for special favors from its owners), is the setting for this typically brash Betty Hutton musical. Hutton plays a young hat check girl who rescues an elderly tramp (Barry Fitzgerald) from drowning. The old bum turns out to be a millionaire, and expresses his gratitude by setting up Hutton in luxury--asking for nothing in return. Hutton's boyfriend Don DeFore suspects hanky panky, but all is forgiven

Audience Reviews for Stork Club
Super Reviewer
Given that's the reason I queued it up, the whole thing was pretty disappointing. Early on, Betty Hutton solidly nails down every loose corner of a rousing Hoagy Carmichael snapper tune titled "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" that made the time invested mildly worthwhile. It's one of the best songs she ever delivered. After that, however, the plot, film and acting all goes stale very quickly.
RECOMMENDATION: For Betty Hutton completists only. You can catch Hutton doing the entire Carmichael number on YouTube ... or see a snippet of it right on this page.
