Lots of action in this Betty Grable film with a fine supporting cast.
Victor Mature is great with his escapades of being successful at starting trouble amongst Betty and Phil Harris. Phil Harris's character is pretty good in this department at playing games as well.
The musical numbers are divine and the choreography is very good.
The cinematography is brilliant with all the vivid colors. Very entertaining for a remake of Grable's "Coney Island." Nice to know that both films, made only seven years apart, were box office hits.
