In this lighthearted
musical comedy from legendary director
Busby Berkeley,
Henry Bowers (
Dick Powell) is a saxophonist in a
jazz band who wins a talent contest. His prize is a ten-week contract with a movie studio, Miracle Pictures (whose slogan is "If it's a good picture, it's a Miracle"). One of his first "assignments" is to escort lovely starlet
Virginia Stanton (
Rosemary Lane) to a movie premiere, but while
Henry is looking forward to his date with a movie star, he's disappointed to discover that
Virginia has opted not to go at the last minute, instead sending her lookalike stand-in,
Mona Marshall (
Lola Lane).
Henry is more than a bit miffed at this, but when he appears on
Louella Parsons' radio show, he's a big hit and rockets to stardom.
Ronald Reagan has a bit part as a radio announcer (which he did full time before acting and politics began paying the rent for him), and keep an eye peeled for
Susan Hayward and
Carole Landis in minor roles. By the way,
Rosemary Lane and
Lola Lane look a great deal alike for a good reason -- they're sisters.
