Lucille Ball Steals the Show
9 April 2020
This is not a great musical, but you must see it for the performances of Lucille Ball (playing a character named Bubbles) and Maureen O'Hara (playing a good girl names Judy). Ball singing and dancing "The Beer Barrel Polka" and "Jitterbug Bite" with the Bailey Brothers Burlesque Theater is worth her weight in gold. Plus, the film is directed by Dorothy Azner, Hollywood's one female director of note between the silent era and Ida Lupino's directorial debut in 1950. --Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
