Watched online, decent copy.

Only watched it b/c IMDb classified as Musical; it's NOT. Soundtracks list 2 songs. I'm not going back to see if that's right.

Of course, this is an indie production in the golden age of the studio system, so no face is familiar. The plot could be reasonable with better everything (writing, acting, sets, musical numbers, etc.), but nothing for me here.
