    Don't bother

    Constance Moore (Pam) fakes amnesia after a slight car accident to try and get her composer boss William Marshall (Brice) to notice her. She's appearing in a show with Bill Goodwin (Rick Castle) and Marshall shows up to see her. Constance Moore is performing one of Marshall's songs in Goodwin's show without him realizing and this leads to a lawsuit being issued but everything works out in the end if you can be bothered to watch it all.

    Edward Everett Horton is also in the cast and is very tedious as Dr Edwards. The whole story is peppered with forgettable songs and a small man leaping about when it comes to the dance numbers. There is nothing particularly good going on here.

    Lively, tuneful, forgotten Republic musical.

    EARL CARROLL SKETCHBOOK was one of Republic's attempts to compete with the major studios in producing a high-budget, grade-A musical. With Constance Moore and William Marshall as its talented romantic leads, a wonderful score by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn, musical direction by Cy Feuer, and choreography by Nick Castle, this sadly forgotten film deserves to be revived. It's fast, melodious fun, and superior to most of the expensive major studio musical blockbusters released that same year. Sheek, glossy entertainment--long overdue for a restoration and revival on home video! If the negative is still in existence, will someone please strike a new print and show moviegoers that not all the great musicals came from MGM!!!
