Charming Van Johnson plays a sailor caught between two sisters (played by June Allyson and Gloria DeHaven) to the rumba rhythms of Xavier Cugat and his Orchestra. This wartime film is another glimpse into what it took to keep "the boys" inspired. Among the song treats are "Sweet and Lovely," "A Tisket a Tasket," "Granada," "Charmaine" performed by Harry James and His Music Makers, "Paper Doll" performed in a cameo by Lena Horne," Inka Dinka Doo" by Jimmy Durante, and "Ritual Fire Dance" played on the piano by José Iturbi. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
