An Esther Williams movie with no swimming! And she is delightful as the savvy female owner of a baseball team in the early days of the sport. Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Betty Garrett, and Jules Munshin keep the fun coming, even as a crook threatens the team. Busby Berkeley directed this exuberant romp that includes, of course, the title song, the hilarious "O'Brien to Ryan to Goldberg," and a closing number completely outside the plot, "Strictly U.S.A." ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
