Since They're In Burma, The Title Makes Sense
7 September 2022
Robert Preston and Preston Foster run a teak plantation guess where. On a trip to the city to raise a loan, they meet saloon singer Dorothy Lamour, and take her back to camp for Preston to romance. However Foster, who is engaged to Doris Nolan, realizes he wants his hat in the ring.

In other words, it's one of those movies about two brawling partners who compete over a woman. Here the movie's emphasis is on Miss Lamour, who is from Brooklyn, and ready to pitch in whenever there's an opportunity or cobra, despite the big strong mans warning her off. You don't mess with women from Brooklyn.

It's a programmer at best, with Miss Lamour singing the title song (lyrics by Frank Loesser), and blind Albert Basserman beating the villain with a whip. Louis King directs efficiently as always, and Stuart Gilmore's editing keeps things chugging along.
