Singer Eric Land (Dick Powell) and the dancers and orchestra he travels with are stuck for work -- until their manager, Ned (Fred Allen), has the band play before a speech given by a dull gubernatorial candidate. When Eric's singing impresses the crowds, Ned convinces the politician to have the group perform before each event. Soon the crowd demands that Eric run for office, and despite the uncertainly of his girlfriend, Sally (Ann Dvorak), Eric agrees when he finds out he can be on the radio.

Eduardo Guaitsel Cine-Mundial Has a pretty decent storyline and also brims with good humor. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 19, 2020 Full Review Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine A speedy and witty script makes even Dick Powell bearable. Apr 20, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine It's a fresh and lively picture, and will probably start a whole new train of ideas in Hollywood. In fact, it won't, surprise us now if they make a picture showing Shirley Temple running for the United States Senate. Jul 22, 2019 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Film mixes delightful political satire with exuberant musical numbers.
