This movie has been known to play under the title Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe which was factual - Rose did own the place - but a bit of a mouthful, on the other hand, with gorgeous colour, gorgeous songs - at least two standards - by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon, Betty Grable and the deep brown voice of Dick Haymes (and I write as a lifelong Sinatra fan) it's fair to say what's in a name. After six years of war it was, of course, just what the public wanted and after fifty years of Beat, Beat, Beat as opposed to melody and graffiti instead of literate lyrics it's what we want today, a reminder of wholesome entertainment that actually did entertain.
