Storyline

Shirley's last film on her 20th Century Fox contract (aged 12). Her parents (Oakie, Greenwood) decide to retire from show biz so she can have a normal life. They are unwelcome in the small town until a storm lets the family show their stuff. Clips from earlier films fill in Shirley's background.—Ed Stephan



Short Review

Interesting musical about liberal young people in revolt against small town conservative economics; good direction by Allan Dwan.
