Famous, but too dated and sentimental, this film follows two musical entertainers (Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye) who leave the army after WW2 and stick together, despite incomnpatibilities.
Cliches come thick and fast, but the film doesn't have enough snap to overcome the obvious artificiality of the setup and the script.
The boys meet up with two female entertainers who are trying to leave town without paying their bills. The Sheriff has arrived at the club where they are due to go on in a few minutes, and he is persuaded to delay arresting them until after they have performed. In the back office, he can hear their act underway, but in fact it is Crosby and Kaye doing a lip-synch (to a 78 rpm record) travesty version of their act, while the girls escape in a taxi.
The film is too weak and too over-sentimental to be recommended to a modern audience.
