I Like The Song
Tommy Reynolds and his band perform the lively title song, while a bevy of beauties parade and Sunny O'Dea tap-dances in this soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
I like the song, and the instrumental portion of this soundie is fine, but the members of the band are not particularly good chorale singers, the tapping is a bit odd and poorly shot, and the copy I looked at was tinted an annoying pink.
