Beautiful But Broke

Beautiful But Broke

1944
Comedy
Theatrical agent Waldo Main (John Eldredge) is inducted into the army, and turns his (now clientless) agency over to his secretary Dottie Duncan (Joan Davis). Dottie decides to organize an all-girl orchestra to fill the void caused by so many orchestra members being called to service due to WWII, and joins struggling singers/songwriters Sally Richards (Jane Frazee) and Sue Ford ('Judy Clark' ) in this endeavor. Dottie's screwball schemes to get engagements for the group often lead to disaster. (imdb)

Joan Davis was always a delightful sidekick, but I don't think she was "heavyweight" enough to carry an entire movie on her shoulders. I do think that it was awfully wonderful that they tried, and in that sense I enjoyed Beautiful But Broke (1944). There are plenty of fun scenes, and while it doesn't feel like a great success, it entertained well for what it was.
