J. D. Forbes, head of the almost-bankrupt Four Star Studios in Hollywood contacts band leader Kay Kyser, who puts on a radio and-live theatre program called "The Kollege of Musical Knowledge," to appear in films. When manager Chuck Deems gets the studio offer, he and band members Ginny Simms, Sully Mason, Ish Kabiddle, Harry Babbitt and the others are all fired up at the prospect of going to Hollywood and working in the movies, but band-leader Kay is all against it and says his old grandmother has told him to stay in his own back yard, but he relents. Once there, Stacey Delmore, a Four Star associate producer left in charge of the studio while Forbes is out of town, discovers that the screenplay writers have prepared a script that has Kay Kyser playing a glamorous lover in an exotic European setting.

Ginny had a very understated and graceful way she did a song. Just a real touch of class.

NO entertainers did more for entertaining the troups during WWII than Kay Kyser and his orchestra. Not even Bob Hope worked as hard for the troups as this group did. Wonderful people all.

I was born in the late 90’s, but looking back at this era I see a lot more class in the culture, and just how people carry themselves. Maybe some things have changed for the better, but I think some for the worst. Music that is popular now venerates some of the worst aspects of humanity.
