Entertaining and superficial look at a vaudeville family as Betty Grable & Dan Dailey sing and dance their way through life. Classic Hollywood presentation. Low on substance, high on glitter. It's a Grable picture, so there's color and legs. This was the big break-through for Dailey, and the guy really make it flow by. Not much drama, and it's all done to put a smile on your face, and it succeeds at that.
