Title: Silly plot, but Eleanor Powell steals the show again
Review: While the plot of this 1939 movie is rather silly - it features Robert Young in a dual role as movie star Brooks Mason and pineapple enterpreneur George Smith - the true star of the film is the great Eleanor Powell, who does several Hawaiian-themed dance numbers, as well as a blackface tribute to her idol, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. George Burns plays Mason's (or is it Smith's?) manager in the film, and Gracie Allen plays Powell's dimwitted girlfriend (Gracie and Eleanor even dance together briefly), though Burns and Allen appear separately for most of the picture and only appear together near the end of the movie. Also in the film: Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, of Jack Benny fame, plays Brook Mason's butler, Washington.Despite its flaws, if you're an Eleanor Powell fan, this movie is a must-have.
