Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was inspired by the popular thirty-minute morning radio program "Breakfast in Hollywood", created, and hosted by Tom Breneman and broadcast from 1941 to 1948 on three different radio networks: NBC, ABC and Mutual. After Breneman died in April 1948, other hosts, including Garry Moore, stepped in as replacements, but without Breneman the ratings dropped, and the program came to an end in January 1949.

Featured review
This unpretentious film with a remarkable cast features one of the last movie appearances of Bonita Granville, who deserves rediscovery through everything from the newly released "Nancy Drew" DVDs to a very effective performance in "These Three." Here she boosts a simple programmer with charm and conviction.
It's also a film where such contrasting acts as Spike Jones and Nat King Cole appear,and as bonus there's Hedda Hopper, who I always thought had a very interesting screen presence. I'm not familiar with the radio program the film ostensibly showcases, but it was evidently a popular fixture in its day. But it's Granville who anchors the film with her appealing manner and sincere acting.
