    Where to Watch

A bandleader (Henry King) loses his arrogance when his men enlist. Rita: Mary Healy. Lew Pollack: Himself. Sammy: Little Jackie Heller. Butch: Maxie Rosenbloom. Peggy: Dorothy Dare. Parky: Parkyakarkus. Alexis Thurn-Taxis directed.

A wartime musical harmed by its minuscule budget stars King as a bandleader whose musicians all enlist. They plan to put on a show for the troops, but during the dress rehearsal duty calls, and they end up fighting, not singing, for their country. Songs: "Zip Your Lip," "I Must Have Priorities on Your Love," "Don't Fool Around with My Heart," "The Yanks are Coming," and "There Will Be No Blackout of Democracy." (Lew Pollack, Tony Stern, Herman Ruby, Sidney Clare).
