Plenty of rhythm, but even more nonsense.

Warning: Spoilers
A cemetary has more plot than this ridiculous musical programmer that has a group of entertainers manipulating their way into a vacant penthouse and creating all sorts of trouble as they try to break into show business. When The Talented performers sing and dance, it's very enjoyable, when they try to present a story or drop a gag, it falls as flat as the entrance to a one story house. Judy Clark, playing a singer named Patti Davis (no relation to the Reagan's daughter), emulates Betty Hutton, and it is her "coming out party" which leads to them being exposed.

The romantic story here goes to Lois Collier and Kirby Grant, with additional participation by familiar supporting players Edward Norris, Edward Brophy, Maxie Rosenbloom, Eric Blore, Marion Martin and Donald MacBride. Out of nowhere, there's a catfight between Clark and Martin which at least bring the party seemed to life. Of the 1940's B Universal musicals, this has to be the lamest.
