Don Q. Cine-Mundial 09/18/2019 The musical numbers and the pretty girls in the movie are pleasingly entertaining for the public. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/30/2016 Perky musical with Betty shining bright as usual. Both Payne and Mature play against her well but the real standout is Jane Wyman deep in her blonde showgirl phase, sprightly and fast with a quip. See more Read all reviews

Synopsis Deciding he possesses the talent to perform in a Broadway production, former boxing champion Tommy Lundy (Victor Mature) takes the stage with the same arrogance and bravado he brought to the ring. A notorious rake, Lundy soon sets his sights on dancer Pat Lambert (Betty Grable). Lambert is spoken for by Bill Smith (John Payne), the actor playing opposite Lundy in the show. Yet Lundy is entirely clueless, since Lambert keeps her marriage a secret for fear of harming her career.
