Three cousins (Carmen Miranda, Michael O'Shea, Vivian Blaine) must travel to Kentucky to claim Magnolia Manor, a plantation they have inherited. They are disappointed to find it in shambles. But things start to look up for them when Sgt. Rocky Fulton offers to fix up the place, on one condition: that they make it into a boarding house for military wives. To raise funds, they decide to perform various musical numbers, and, in the midst of preparations, a love affair begins to blossom.

Audience Member good WWII musical to keep the audiences entertained Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Light, colorful and very enjoyable. Carmen Miranda is terrific. Some fine songs, good art direction. Nothing deep or significant, just old fashioned entertainment. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Light, colorful and very enjoyable.
