| User Reviewjay nHow am I NOT going to give a 30's and 40's Bing Crosby movie 5 stars? Seriously, today's movies need to take a lesson or two from yesteryears movies. I almost enjoy black/whites more than today's movies because they are so innocent and can be watched by anybody. This movie had a great story and great actors. And the singing was fabulous. |
| User ReviewAj VGreat Movie. Great Examples of Vaudeville in this movie. Amazing story. A Must See, and a must own for any Bing Crosby fans |
