Betty Grable looks nice, sings a little, and wiggles ecstatically. Alice Faye looks tired, sings a little too much, and wriggles epileptically. Together, as the song-plugging Blane sisters, they leave the audience nearly as indifferent as leading man John Payne, who wanders through "Tin Pan Alley" as if he had taken a wrong turn and arrived there by mistake--which isn't far from the truth. The tunes, featuring "K-K-K-Katie" and the great grandmother of "God Bless America" make B.M.I.'s current cacophony sound like the music of the spheres. And a kaleidoscopic flashback on World War 1 backs up Professor Elliott by showing that Harvard Square really is a very disagreeable place compared to a battlefield. Jack Oakie, though, provides some of the best mugging since he annexed a paunch and gave up Joe College roles; and he slips a couple of resounding swats past the censors' guard smack on Grable's can can.

Second feature, "Dr. Kildare's Crisis," suggests the possibility of perpetual motion. It looks like Lew Ayres is going to pursue Laraine Day forever. Lionel Barrymore and the customary minor characters are present along with Robert Young, who was probably thrown in to differentiate this from the first five in the series. In the news reel, the Wendell Wilkie crusade sweeps through England with W.W. discussing things with everyone from Churchill to the man in the shelter. Unfortunately for those wearied by his hoarse-voiced campaign. Willkie is still doing most of the talking.
