Watched online, excellent print.

Mostly of value for the 2 Louis Armstrong numbers, which can also be found on YouTube: Jeepers Creepers (early) and Mutiny in the Nursery (53 min in). But frankly, I also miss Dick Powell's singing. This is 1 of 2 musicals released in '38, and the other is on dvd but I don't have it. He has really cut back on his films at this point in his career.

Young Ronald Reagan has a small supporting role as a society sportsman.

Warner, dir. Enright; 5+
