Directed by Busby Berkeley
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Bros.)
Musician and Hollywood hopeful Dick Powell goes on a date with a glamorous movie star his first night in town, only it turns out to be an impersonator. They fall in love, leading to some predictable mistaken identity situational comedy when the real movie star shows up. The struggling actors continue their low wage jobs hoping for a break, which eventually happens. At it's best when taking jabs at Hollywood high society types, but the musical filler by Benny Goodman and company goes on a bit too long. Nonetheless, lots of fun with plenty of Hollywood history to look at in the background.
