Rating:  - The Dream Man Gets a Vacation
Brooks Mason (Robert Young) is a tremendously famous movie star. He is mobbed everywhere he goes and has just been signed to do a personal appearance tour in New York.

On his way back to Smith's home in Honolulu, Mason meets beautiful showgirl Dorothy March (Eleanor Powell) and her friend Millie (Gracie Allen). He quickly ... Read More

Rating: - A Convert
I never could understand a world in which Eleanor Powell could be a star, but in time knowledge is given to every man, and recently I had a dramatic conversion, like Saul on his way to Tarsus and lo he became Paul in the Bible.

As an American boy growing up in France I resented the French cult of Eleanor Powell, the fetishism ... Read More
Rating: - Swing your hips to this fun musical video!

Rating: - A great movie to see and hear
This is one of my all-time favorite movie musicals, believe it or not. It has a very nice story, is well-written, and seems the perfect movie. It's not a paper-thin plotline as seen in many other musicals, nor is it overly bombastic with huge production numbers and the like. It's right in the middle, a fairly normal film, but that is what makes it most appealing. And sadly, it is no longer available on video, so you have to try your luck finding it on TCM. As with any Burns & Allen vehicle, this ... Read More
