I don't think I'll spoil anyone's enjoyment of this movie by answering "Yes" to all those questions. This antique plot is used as an excuse for some Jimmy McHugh-Frank Loesser songs, a couple of major bands, including Freddy Martin and Les Brown, a comic dance trio, and a brief traipse through a radio staple or two of the era. Director Tim Whelan pushes the movie at a crackling pace, the specialty acts are pretty good for the era, and mature and Miss Ball perform appropriately. It's what light wartime entertainment is meant to be. With Ginny Sims, Arnold Stang (in his first credited role), and the usual assortment of familiar faces.
If one is a Lucy fan, this movie is a great watch. Lucy is actually drop-dead gorgeous in this flick, more so than she had ever been in her entire career, in my opinion.
Also, Harold 'The Great Gildersleeve' Peary adds to the fun, along with Marcy McGuire as the younger sister to Lucy's character.
Unfortunately, this film as a whole is quite mediocre. And, Victor Mature sings twice. FFWD required.
All in all, one watch of this movie is definitely worth it. The video is even worth owning if you like Lucy.
