This is a great movie if you like the big band sound. The story line is quite simple, 2 girls vying for the attention of 1 boy.
Some of it is filmed on location in Sun Valley, Idaho about 1940. The movie is filled with big band music, featuring Glenn Miller and his band. The big number is Chattanooga Choo-Choo and includes a dance number by the Nicholas Brothers. Seeing Milton Berle and Joan Davis as youngsters is very enjoyable. I was not born until many years after this movie was made, but I find it nostalgic anyway. It has a lot more music as well and a lot of skating by Sonja Henie.
I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the big band sound.
I cannot condone the fact that Mario was substandard in this film. He had been under the restrictions of an MGM ban, before Warners offered him a chance to return to the filmworld. He was naturally nervous (it shows in some of the scenes) as he had not worked for about three years and his voice was taking on a darker hue.
Yes, he was a little overweight, but his singing was superb.
He could sing anything and did, with complete conviction. His operatic arias in this film are superb and those of us who are lucky enough to have heard the outtakes from the soundtrack will agree that he was coming to terms with the fact that he had to adjust to his voice getting bigger.
It was a really awesome instrument. The power was immense, but he could also sing falsetto when required. His 'Ave Maria' in this film is one of the most moving I have ever heard. A good effort by him to re-establish himself and his fans will bear me out.
