- Synopsis
- A young singer/dancer (Eleanor Powell) goes to New York City in hopes of becoming a Broadway star. Along the way she encounters two vaudeville hopefuls (George Murphy and Buddy Ebsen), and meets a Broadway producer (Robert Taylor). The producer sees her singing and dancing on the train, and takes her under his wing, getting her a place to stay (Sophie Tucker's boarding house) and trying to work her into a new musical that he's producing. Sophie Tucker's boarding house is a sort of half-way house for Broadway hopefuls. Sophie is a past performer, and is trying to get her daughter (Judy) onto the stage. All of this leads to the inevitable big show, which is the finale of the movie.
