Singing radio host Gary Mitchell callously dumps his agent Doug Blake (Jack Carson). Doug sets off to find a new singer making a tour of the New York nightclubs. In a diner, he finds Martha Gibson (Doris Day) singing from a remote jukebox. She's a single mom and is forced to leave her son behind with her uncle as she makes the rounds in Hollywood. Doug convinces Girl Friday Vivian Martin (Eve Arden) to take in Martha.
I didn't know some early jukebox record is done that way. It's like an early streaming service. This is a fine Doris Day post-war musical. She has the sweetheart voice and sweetheart personality. The single mom angle adds some much-needed depth to an otherwise bland straight forward story. I wouldn't mind more Vi. Quite frankly, she's a better match for Doug. Bugs Bunny makes a cameo with Tweety Bird in an animated section. This is supposed to be a takedown of the music business, but it's done with kiddie gloves. It's light. It's harmless. It's fine.
