This second film of the Sinatra & Kelly partnership, shows the boys as two baseball players who are vaudevillians in the offseason, Eddie O'Brien (a ladies man and womanizer) and Dennis Ryan (a shy player who focuses on playing baseball, vaudeville and getting muscles).
The cast is top notch, Sinatra, Kelly, Williams and Garret were all very talented individuals. However what hurts the film is how short it is with it only being 93 minutes long, compared to the other two Sinatra Kelly movie which were both over two hours long. With some extra time it may not feel as rushed. It also seemed like there was some production term oil, with 3 other female leads leaving through production. (Judy Garland, Kathryn Grayson and Ginger Rogers) along with Frank Sinatra not joining until very late in pre production The numbers are really good minus Yes Indeedy. The opening song and the St. Patrick's day number are some of my favorite musical numbers ever. 7/10.
