Threadbare plot of two theater producers putting on a charity show is all that holds together this 2 plus hour variety show. The unbearable Eddie Cantor actually has two roles, as himself and as a slightly more subdued version of himself. Aspiring singer Danny Morgan and romantic interest/aspiring songwriter Joan Leslie try anything to get into the show. Bette Davis has an embarrassing number singing and dancing. As does John Garfield. And Humphrey Bogart.
