An all-star cast including Donald O'Connor, the Andrews Sisters, and Joe E. Lewis help to tell this tale of bandleader Harry James being drafted into the army! Great musical numbers and hysterical gags highlight this treat from World War II, but the unheralded scene stealer in this film is Shemp Howard, who proves that a single Stooge can be just as funny as three!
