Weird little film from 1939 with an early appearance by Betty Hutton, before she made it big at Paramount!! Some parts aren't too bad, while other parts are so bad, they are good!! Sort of like an early "Gong Show" episode, circa 1939, where everyone wants to appear in front of a camera and show the world just how bad their talent is!! The humor falls flat, while the musical numbers are not bad at all. The only part I really disliked was the minstrel part--I never did like that type of humor--I just don't understand why anyone would find that funny!! But, all in all, a nice slice of American humor(?) and music from way back when.
