How many real songs throughout the history of modern music has been sued for plagiarism or accused of taking an old song and changing it slightly to sound like a different song? Such is the case with the title song here, bought by music publishing partner Joan Davis and revealed to be an old song still copy written. Davis, singer Jane Frazee and bandleader Bob Crosby find themselves in legal hot water when the truth comes out about it and Davis has taken over the company. This one takes a while to get going, but does include many funny moments even if it's not as good as "Beautiful But Broke".
It's a slim plot for sure, but Joan Davis makes each gag funny. The songs are just adequate, and I find it hard to believe that anybody would mistake the title song as number one of the year, especially in the year of "Swinging on a Star", "The Trolley Song" and "Accentuate the Positive". Bob gets the usual digs in at brother Bing (even though he's not playing himself), and the Williams Brothers sing and clown amusingly. Bit as a movie, it's barely passable as a time filler even though Davis is always able to score laughs even with the corniest of material.
