      Otis Ferguson The New Republic I thought the action stuff a little tortured and wished that Elizabeth Patterson were too; but the main thing was the character of Bing Crosby, who can sing and also be a swell feller. May 7, 2024 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine There are two or three songs, none of them outstanding, and the whole thing is easygoing, pleasant, and not particularly remarkable...

      Steve D Only the biggest fans will find anything worthwhile . Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Took a while for me to get into this movie. Bing's character is too carefree and off track. His kid brother in the movie was adorable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Sappy screenplay is bolstered by two good songs: "A Pocketful of Dreams" and the charming "Small Fry." Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Bing, Fred MacMurray and Donald Oâ(TM)Connor star as a trio of talented brothers who travel to Los Angeles seeking fortune only to get mixed up at the racetrack. Good early Bing musical comedy with a action packed finale. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
