A girl goes to the city to sleep her way into money.

2/4 (Indifferent).

Stanwyck is good in it, but otherwise it has very much not aged well. I don't understand 1930's morals enough to even know what the film is trying to do.

Dopo che Neville Chamberlain annuncia la firma del Patto di Monaco con la Germania, l'ufficiale della RAF Keith Wilson si sente disgustato dall'appeasement britannico e denuncia la politica estera del suo paese. In segno di protesta, Keith dipinge svastiche sulla colonna di Nelson e viene processato dalla corte marziale e licenziato dal servizio per le sue azioni. Subito dopo la sua pubblica umiliazione, Keith viene convocato a Scotland Yard dal colonnello Patterson, che lo arruola nella show more divisione di controspionaggio dei servizi segreti britannici, istruendolo a fingersi un traditore britannico e infiltrarsi nell'ufficio di propaganda nazista. Patterson ordina a Keith di partecipare a una festa e lì incontra Ilse Von Preissing e suo fratello Rudolph, un membro di spicco dell'ufficio di propaganda nazista. Per compiere la sua missione, Keith coltiva una storia d'amore con Ilse, e dopo che lei e Rudolph parti per Antibes, lui la segue lì. show less
This merry musical biography of “Banjo Eyes” will gladden the hearts of Cantor and musical fans alike. It’s got fabulous songs, assured direction by Alfred E. Green (The Jolson Story) and elaborate numbers typical of the Ziegfeld stage.

Keefe Brasselle plays the energetic kid from the East Side in this decades-spanning saga of the showman’s rise from singing waiter to vaudeville sensation and Ziegfeld Follies headliner, from pioneering radio days to his lifelong devotion to show more humanitarian causes. Cantor himself sings on the soundtrack, performing Makin’ Whoopee, If You Knew Susie, Margie, Ida, Ma, He’s Making Eyes at Me and other signature tunes. He and wife Ida make a charming cameo appearance in this musical that will surely touch hearts and lift spirits all over. (fonte: imdb) show less
