...the movie is uncommonly glamorous in appearance, and WB's print and transfer are excellent. (The Lucille Ball Film Collection)

The best part of the movie is the opening half hour or so in the nightclub, where we see a series of entertainers perform their acts, from Ball to Kelly to Tommy Dorsey.
