My rating: 2 stars out of 4

(DVD, Universal)
A down and out songwriter falls in love with a carnival runaway in New York. They both get sales jobs in a music store where he pedals his efforts by singing love songs to his new girl. Her past catches up to her when Burns and Allen arrive to spoil the romance, and the movie, which would have been better served if they were simply not in it. Gracie's inane dialogue is irritating and never funny, while the antics of her alcoholic father to get her back are downright despicable. Meanwhile, Burns just watches with nothing much to say, as usual. The delightful Dixie Lee was Mrs. Bing Crosby in real life.
