Those hot dog stands that open in the evening and serve you with a tray are sadly missed these days. That seems like a perfect restaurant date for young lovers today. I know I would definitely treat my wife to the experience. I don't drive so she would have to do that part. And if she offered to pay for her share, then it's a perfect romantic date to remember. Ha ha. That's the style of student journalist Richard Carlson (Pug) in this film. He plays the love interest to dancer Lana Turner (Patty) who has secretly entered a competition to land a film role as part of a dance partnership with established star Lee Bowman (Freddy). She has already been guaranteed the role but the film studio is pretending they are searching for a college star. So, Turner has to enroll at college in order to make her appointment valid. She goes along to college with film studio secretary Ann Rutherford (Eve) who is there to take care of the academic side of college on Lana's behalf. However, Carlson is convinced that there is skullduggery attached to this competition and launches his own journalistic investigation.
It's a comedy musical. However, it has too many comedy characters - we didn't need both Leon Errol and Roscoe Karns in the same film as they pretty much do the same kind of schtick - and the film can be a bit too shouty as a consequence whenever these characters are on screen. No more fast-talking nonsense. It isn't funny! Lana Turner is good and Rutherford compliments her well and it is Turner's dancing that will leave an impressive lasting memory. There is also a twist to the story's ending. It is a nonsense film but more enjoyable than I had anticipated delivering a feel-good factor whilst you watch it.
