A typical extra-light musical comedy of its time. Lots of patriotic references related to the war; popular dances of the time; ridiculous script; but some good performances. Lucille Ball plays herself and does it well. Harry James and his orchestra play beautifully, and James plays The Flight of the Bumblebee on his trumpet. A young Chill Wills looks trim and shows a preview of his future wonderful acting skills. A youthful June Allyson and others do some very good vocals, and a young Nancy Walker is hilarious (a forerunner performance of her later outstanding comedy). The script is more like a high school farce, but the movie is worth seeing because of those other neat features.
