I'll Reach for a Star

Republic Pictures making a prestige musical for a minor studio splashing out cash for all types of acts, mostly musical and a few vaudeville comics. Even a brief appearance by the legendary Duke Ellington! But most of the songs was by Frances Langford who has the lead as a rising radio singer, with Phil Regan helping promote her. While this had the potential of being fun, I felt it was just a very bland attempt at a musical. None of the songs was particularly catchy and the whole plot too empty.
