Perhaps not the greatest intellectual material, but quite likeable piece of pre-WWII fluff. Shirley Ross comes over as a quite refreshing young starlet,and masquerading as a deaf goldmine owner,who turns out at the end to be as short of a fortune as anyone else. The motor trip of the Sheriff from the S.W. raises a few laughs,and Shirley's song "Blossoms on Broadway" sung in the pouring rain on Broadway is the highlight of the picture.The music is catching,Johnny Arnold as Quinterfield Jnr. (also as Benny of the "Desert Song") is amusing, as is the conniving Quinterfield Senior. The film is well supported by Edward Arnold as the longtime con artist, and William Frawley as the persistent detective. The end is somewhat overdone by the operatic musicale.,which would be tedious to modern audiences,and the police extravaganza at the end.
