Throw Whatever's In The Kitchen Sink Into The Stewpot
24 June 2021
Billie Burke sponsors a classical music show on the radio that various singers and producers want to turn into a swing show, including her niece, Jane Frazee.

It's a kitchen sink musical meant to star all of Universal's musical talent, including the Andrews Sisters, Gloria Jean doing her junior Deanna Durbin routine, Grace Macdonald, Woody Herman's orchestra (doing a nice version of "Woodchopper's Ball"), nd Leo Carillo and Charles Butterworth each doing variations of sawing a woman in half; Edgar Pangborn is a conductor, and Charles Lane as a producer. There's very little time left for an actual plot, and it's mostly ignored in favor of some nice musical numbers.

Unfortunately the copy I looked at was very fuzzy, even though the sound track seemed in good shape.
