Dick's charming, Ruby's cute, Jack's obnoxious and Joan's nobody's fool in a mostly disposable Warner Bros musical about, well, the story doesn't really matter. Busby Berkeley wasn't involved, but his influence on the production numbers is obvious. Oakie and Blondell hoofing it through "Boulevardier From the Bronx" is the unexpected highlight.
