No story. No substance. No point. Crosby croons some though and that's always worth hearing, but this production is dappled with musical numbers that, though entertaining unto themselves, get in the way of the the hackneyed romance between Crosby and Marion Davies.
Marion Davies is not nearly as bad as some comments here suggest. She's adequate as the female lead but still not overly memorable. Nothing about this picture apart from the music really stays in the mind after you see it. And even that doesn't linger long.
A curious look at early 30's Hollywood, and Bing on the way up as a song and dance dynamo, but little else to recommend it. One of those so-called classics that makes a good sleep aid.
