6/10
Musical comedy...Hubba Hubba Hubba.

Warning: Spoilers
Veteran song and dance beauty Vivian Blaine plays Mary Elizabeth Carroll, better known as burlesque star 'Doll Face', has her sights set high for the legitimate stage. Her boyfriend manager Mike Hannegan(Dennis O'Keefe)is her number one booster; and convinces her to hire a ghost writer, Fredrick Manly Gerard(Michael Dunne), to help with an auto-biography to prove she has attained 'class'. Of course, the writer comes between the songstress and her guy.

Blaine sings "Somebody's Walking in My Dream" and reprises a couple of nice tunes, "Here Come's Heaven Again" and "Red, Hot and Beautiful" with crooner Perry Como, who sings one of his break-through songs "Dig You Late(A-Hubba Hubba Hubba)". And the one and only Carmen Miranda as Chita Chula sings "Chico Chico". This fun over-looked musical is based on a play by Gypsy Rose Lee.
