It is interesting to have Benny as one of the stars as Eleanor Powell and Robert Taylor are together here and MGM packs the cast with other talents including a man who would do a lot of these type movies but would make his biggest name on television- Buddy Ebsen. Vilma Ebsen, who is Buddy's sister makes one of her rare film roles here.
Benny is a muck raking scandal reporter who column is the blog of Broadway here who seems to be always checking on Taylor (Gordon) who is casting his next Broadway show. Powell (Irene) is from Albany, Taylors hometown and is trying to get into his show and into him. That is the basic plot which holds this together.
Really, the plot is just here to hold together the music and dancing performances. Buddy gets quite a bit of dialogue in this one, though his dancing is ageless. Most of his is worked in with someone other than Powell.
Una Mirkel (Kitty) is the all knowing secretary for Gordon (Taylor) and conspires with Powell (Irene) to get her a rehearsal with his knowing what hit him. The pleasure is in the period music, and seeing these folks work, sing and dance.
