Thanks so much for writing in, Dennis. And regards to your favorite tap dancer.
I was wondering what was going on in the world when this film was made. The US was already involved in fighting (1942). And here’s what wikipedia says about the plot: Tallulah Winters is a dancing star who is hired to perform on an ocean liner. Before she leaves, she is recruited by what she believes is a branch of the American government and asked to smuggle a prototype explosive mine out of the country. In fact, she is unknowingly working for Nazi agents who have stolen the mine. Meanwhile, Merton Kibble (Red Skelton), a writer of pulp fiction adventure stories but suffering from severe writer’s block, is on the same ship and soon he finds himself embroiled in Tallulah’s real-life adventure. Also appearing in the film were Bert Lahr, Tommy Dorsey, Buddy Rich, and Virginia O’Brien.
Thanks for that, Pearl. The way she dances, you’d think no one had a care in the world! What a crazy plotline.
