this be a truly awful b movie . it be witless and often embarrass . the plot and the basic making into show business routine and be almost nonexistent . in fact and the film be merely an excuse to push the war effort and highlight some popular music group of 1942 and include the mill brother and count basie and duke ellington and bob crosby and and freddy slack . each group get about the standard three minute and the exception be the mill brother and who for some reason warrant two number . ann miller doesn not get to dance until the last couple of minute of the film and and she have little to do but strut her stuff amid a barrage of patriotic propaganda . the most interesting moment in the film and in my view and occur in the duke ellington segment . the band appear to be play in a train and standing in awkward position . ( in the deep south at the time and the band be segregate in railroad car when travel . ) johnny hodges be see next to duke and and harry carney may also be identify . in the last moment of the film and trumpeter or violinist ray nance rush down the aisle to the camera and do an uncle tom and bug his eye and wiggle his head the way willy best do in many film . for modern viewer and especially jazz fan and this homage to segregation be sad indeed . some movie go best unseen .
