Did you know Edit. Trivia Film debut of Julie Adams. She appears in an uncredited role as a starlet. User reviews 11 Review. Top review. C'mon this is silly fun. But I had some fun I even liked the songs and I did so appreciate her "Give It All" delivery. Admittingly I couldn't have a steady diet of her films but I liked this one. As been stated in the summary she so wants to be a great actress.. She gets mixed up with the mob, and all that fun stuff but never fear, Betty will prevail.

The huge weakness was pairing her with Victor Mature. I understand it was Paramount's call but still Bottom line In fact, he is terribly miscast here. Mature always excelled in roles where he played the villain or tough police officer. Instead, in this film, he plays a director who is in love with the ever zany Bette Hutton.

Keeping up with Miss Hutton, who gives a wonderful performance, is more than anyone else could endure. June Havoc, who died recently at age 97, appears in the film as Hutton's room-mate. She is given little to do here. How they get the best of the bad guys here is rather ridiculous, but it's fun to watch Hutton vamp and sing around the foolish script.

I may be the only person to source this movie because it features Frank Loesser in an acting role. Since earliest childhood my twin passions have been movies and Popular Song, which is how we used to refer to what w have now been taught to call the Great American Songbook, a volume in which Loesser rates a full chapter to himself. Because of my interest in and knowledge of the GAS there was no danger of me mistaking this title for the Cole Porter Broadway show of the same name which caused friction between its three stars - Bob Hope, Jimmy Durante, and Ethel Merman - each of whom aspired to top billing, a situation resolved via a three-sheet resembling a Toblerone.

He began around as a lyricist for hire and graduated to composer lyricist in the following decade. As a piano playing gangster Loesser doesn't have a lot to do but he manages to convince and the movie is fairly painless. Minor but fairly enjoyable little programmer goes on too long but shows Betty Hutton's versatility: she can do comedy, slapstick, drama, musical, and apparently action as well she kicks major ass in the climactic warehouse fight.

Wildest number is a brassy musical version of Hamlet! Currently, you can enjoy it at YouTube. Her first zany performance accompanies the song "I Wake up in the Morning Feeling Fine", composed by Frank Loesser, who composed all 4 of the featured songs. Betty does all she can to encourage them to wake up, including dumping them out of bed.

Later, Betty sings and dances raucously to "That's Loyalty" when auditioning for a part in a play. When she attends a rehearsal of "Hamlet", she does an raucous alternative interpretation of Ophelia. Later, in an apartment, she sings the romantic ballad "Now that I Need You". William Demarest, as Charlie, sets Betty up with a middle-aged millionaire: Alex, who tries to paw her in the back seat of a car.

Later, his wife arrives at the restaurant where they are. Being used to seeing him with a young blond on his arm, she pours ice water on Betty, to 'cool her off'. Betty retaliates by smashing a cream pie in her face Later, Betty goes to the apartment of a gangster posing as a show producer. After trying to seduce her, he is shot dead by an unknown assassin. As a result, she's in trouble with the police and his fellow gangsters.
