Summary:
In this Depression era romp, a timid stenographer removes her glasses and - like that! - she's a star. A gee-whiz tenor asserts his independence. Plucky chorus girls tap, greedy hangers-on get their comeuppances and an indefatigable producer/dancer and his Girl Friday rearrange heaven, earth and Chicago to put on shows that will keep their company afloat during hard times. Cagney's first musical film.
