typical Dick Powell-Ruby Keeler movie, except Ruby doesn't dance., 23 October 2000
Author: Rolf Eklund (rolf-10) from Fort Worth, Texas

This film is not anywhere near "42nd Street" in terms of music and plot, but it has a few good moments. Ruby Keeler is a general's daughter who meets Army private Dick Powell when she makes a two day stop in Honolulu, on her way to Manila with her father. There is a pretty good moment early in the film when she falls madly in love with Private Powell (who she has known for two hours) when he sings "Aloha Oe" at a beach luau the two of them crash. Boy gets girl, boy loses girl, and boy gets girl once more, later in the film when he is the top cadet at West Point and her father is the new Superintendent at the Academy. The best song in this movie, "Mr. and Mrs. is the name," is part of the cadet musical Dick writes and produces.
