Star Spangled Rhythm (1942)


Directed by George Marshall
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Universal)

An energetic Betty Hutton convinces security guard Victor Moore to pretend to be president of Paramount Pictures to impress her sailor boyfriend. It is a treat to wander around the Paramount lot and sound stages of the time. Numerous Paramount stars make cameos. However, a variety act at the end of the film tends to get a bit silly and overly patriotic, but this was a wartime picture.
