"Set at West Point, this musical centers on Elwin Bixby's (James Cagney) misadventures as he tries to stage a show at the academy while trying to lure the young talented soldier Tom Fletcher (Gordon MacRae) away from army life and into showbusiness. Convinced that Tom's voice has star potential, Bixby uses pretty movie star Jan Wilson (Doris Day) as bait to try and charm Tom out of army life. But plans backfire when Jan falls under the spell of the handsome soldier.Tons of singing and dancing by Gordon MacRae, Doris Day, Gene Nelson, James Cagney, and Virginia Mayo."
"This is one of my all time favorite movies and not easy to find. The music is lively and the antics are purely classic Kaye. This is a must see for anyone who loves musicals and comedy. There are some great character actors in this piece and ordering potato salad has never been so silly."
"I have collected the Signature Collections for Gary Cooper, Bogie & Bacall, Robert Mitchum and James Stewart.
All of the above are worthwhile efforts for those film icons.
This is a dismal collection for one of my favorite actor.
None of the films are significant from Burt Lancaster's long and illustrious film career. Truly disappointing.
5 stars for Burt, 2 stars for the collection, 0 star for Signature Collection.
