In legendary director Busby Berkeley's Oscar-winning musical set at a luxury resort, lowly desk clerk Dick Curtis (Dick Powell) has his eye on fetching guest Ann Prentiss (Gloria Stuart). But Ann's disapproving mom (Alice Brady) has another candidate in mind for her daughter's hand: eccentric millionaire T. Mosley Thorpe (Hugh Herbert). This lavish production features some of the most surreal and extravagant song-and-dance sequences ever filmed.
