I never quite understood why Robert Young appeared mostly in B movies. Long one of my favorites, "The Enchanted Cottage" certainly showed off his serious side. This film is far lighter, and Young does an admirable job in it.
Eleanor Powell has to be the finest female tap dancer in history, and this film is no exception.
Gracie Allen was a delight in this film and stole many scenes. I never understood the attraction of George Burns, and apparently after this film neither did Hollywood -- it was his last film for 37 years. He was pretty much irrelevant in this motion picture.
The plot is nothing fantastic, but it is pleasant enough...once you get past the first 10 or so minutes where Robert Young's character as a heart-throb actor meets Robert Young's character as an everyday Joe. That segment of the film is clumsy, at best. But after that you'll find a rather pleasant "B" level MGM musical.
