Starring Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, George Murphy

Jo Hayden, member of a song and dance troupe, meets Harry Palmer, a handsome, brash young hoofer, and he convinces her they would make a good team. But life on the vaudeville circuit is hard and after two years they are still seeking success.

Philip Jenkinson writes: 'Busby Berkeley musical with no geometrics but winning hands down on the musical numbers featuring Gene Kelly and Judy Garland. In fact, it's the numbers that save this vaudeville yarn and its tortuous plot from the doldrums.'
