A famous stripper is recruited to author an intellectual autobiography with hilarious results.
Starring:
Vivian Blaine, Dennis O'Keefe, Perry Como, Carmen Miranda
DVD Details:
In this comedy a wartime souffle from a play by Gypsy Rose Lee (as Louise Hovick), director Lewis Seiler's vision is properly focussed upon contemporary swing music, highlighting the vocal skill of Vivian Blaine, Perry Como, Carmen Miranda and Martha Stewart (no, not that one). Burlesque queen Doll Face Carroll is dismissed from an audition for a legitimate Broadway show because she lacks culture. Her boss/manager Mike (the stalwart Dennis O'Keefe) decides that she can get both culture and plenty of publicity by writing her autobiography. He hires a ghost writer to do all the work, but doesn't count on the possibility that Doll Face and her collaborator might have more than a book on their minds. Seiler manages to remain faithful to the story line while seamlessly blending in the many musical numbers which, interestingly enough, prove more of a showcase for the perky Stewart and smooth Como than for the top-billed and certainly very pleasant Blaine; the production number for Miranda is a wild one, indeed. A real classic!
