Grable and Landis, who also play sisters in the murder mystery I WAKE UP SCREAMING, are just as convincing here. Kay (Grable), her sister Barbara (Landis) and Aunt Sue (Charlotte Greenwood) are poor, so they decide to check into a Miami hotel, where Kay pretends to be rich in order to catch a wealthy husband. She soon attracts two suitors. Neither man is a stereotypical snob. They're both nice guys, so it's interesting to see what becomes of this romantic triangle. Even Aunt Sue finds a man. Greenwood, an older character actress, proves surprisingly limber and has unexpectedly great legs in her dance number. By today's standards, the Seminole Indian dance may be offensive or at least inaccurate, since the Seminoles are not known for their tap dancing skills. Otherwise there is nothing objectionable in this feel-good musical, which teaches that marrying for money will not lead to happiness. Technicolor enhances the lavish costumes and hairstyles.Read full review

This is a great film for many reasons. the music is great with out being too much for the film, it includes betty grable and the always stunning and the too often looked over, Carole Landis. The story is a common on for this era, poor girl looks to marry rich so tried to make herself seem she is rich too. However in this movie it is fresh and not to sappy. Its got humor, music, love and that always appreciated 1940's Hollywood glamor. I am excited to add this to my collection as I am tired of requesting it from my library. I want to watch it whenever I want!
This was a well written lightweight musical with good music and good actors.
