This film is one of Bing Crosby's best, combining enough elements of entertainment to please the most jaded moviegoer.

Frank Capra's comedy with music (the Oscar-winning "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening") is a pleasant diversion.

The first twenty minutes are interminably slow, with all momentum stalled by two seemingly never-ending musical numbers. Once that's out of the way, things settle down into a decent lighthearted comedy, with a fine performance from Crosby and the usual Capra addition of a little social commentary. Cut out all the song and dance stuff, which mostly feels tacked on, and you've got yourself something a little more like the old Capra.
