This is a colorful musical bit of fluff, set in NY's beach community around the turn of the century. George Montgomery gives one of his best Gable-like performances as the con man who has his eye on Grable and wants to see her leave her hootch act to become a top Broadway headliner. They squabble, there are misunderstandings, double-crosses, but all comes right in the end. Although the Scoring was justly nominated for an Oscar, there should have been nods for the beautifully composed Technicolor cinematography and the lavish costume design as well (alack, the latter category didn't exist in 1943). Caesar Romero is the rival and Charles Winniger and Phil Silvers provide the comedy relief. There are only four songs but they are well done. This is a very enjoyable piece of fluff. One is surprised Montgomery didn't become a major star - he had the looks and the personality.
