Goodman not Goodactor!, 26 July 1999
6/10
Author: David Atfield (bits@alphalink.com.au) from Canberra, Australia

Benny Goodman is the star of this wartime film and he's a rotten actor - but who cares? This is all about his music and it's very good. The plot is nowhere, the ending very silly and the performers attractive but bland - except for Dickie Moore who is hilarious as an uppity cadet. See it to hear it and forget the rest.
