Viewing Notes

Was tipped off to this by Chicago Film Society. Fun performance by Betty Grable in a so-so story but she goes a long way to making this watchable. Plenty of great character actors in this incl. Margaret Hamilton! Also didn’t realize this was a Preston Sturges flick until the credits rolled.
