Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Dick Powell as a singing insurance salesman who interests ageing, hypochondriac producer Victor Moore in a million dollar policy, and puts on a show with the proceeds... Nuggets include two memorable Busby Berkeley set pieces. Fifty couples canoodling on fifty giant rocking-chairs in 'Let's Put Our Heads Together', and spunky Joan Blondell leading seventy chorus girls in a military-style tattoo called 'All's Fair in Love and War'.
