Ah, this is fun. It's in colour, it takes place in Miami, the leads are women out to nab a rich husband, they hang around a nightclub where there's production numbers
Betty Grable is very sweet and fun - too nice to be a genuine gold digger but since she's never going to actually be one it doesn't matter. Carole Landis is nice as her friend but she doesn't have a distinguishing character to play - she's just a blonde friend; it's a shame they couldn't have given her something individual to act.
Don Ameche and Robert Cummings are two of the best light comedians ever so the male department is well handled. Charlotte Greenwood and Jack Haley are the low rent third options - I think they were once famous.
The film stumbles a little in the third act - I think when Ameche pretends to be poor. But there's always a fun number. Greenwood is funny. Grable is a sweetheart.
