  Star Spangled Rhythm (1942)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
When Eddie gets shore leave with his buddies they naturally want to go to the studio and then the fun begins as the attempts at keeping the deception going get more involved and intricate up to the point where dad agrees to hold a show for the whole ship.
No question that this movie was to be patriotic and to showcase Paramount stars.
Some very funny scenes such as when Betty wants to get into the studio by climbing over a wall and during the show for the ship's men there is an absolutely hilarious sketch with men showing how women act when they get together for an evening of playing cards.

 dOc DVD Review: My Favorite Blonde / Star Spangled Rhythm (1942)
But Polly is determined that Johnny not be disillusioned or embarrassed in front of his friends, so they wreak havoc around the studio trying to keep up the charade.
It's nifty to see the many stars here, as well as directors like Cecil B. De Mille and Preston Sturges poking fun at themselves.
Star Spangled Rhythm looks almost as good for most part, though it suffers from a couple spots of major frame damage and some speckling around the reel changes.

They gain access to the head cheese's office and in the process, accidentally promise Eddie to get major stars from the studio to star in an all-star revue just for the military.
Also notable is a silly, prolonged skit in which men pretend to be women (eek.) and Bing's big patriotic number at the end, which is some of the clumsiest wartime propaganda committed to film.
The storyline is typical of musical comedies from that era: Betty Hutton is a telephone operator at Paramount who, along with Victor Moore, pretends that Moore is the head director of the studio in order to impress Moore's sailor son (played by Eddie Bracken) and his shipmates.

 My Favorite Blonde/Star Spangled Rhythm | The A.V. Club
To post-Boomers, Hope calls to mind fusty holiday specials, padded out with bland musical numbers and the star's stingless, marginally topical one-liners (delivered with a nonchalance that drifted too frequently into indifference).
Star Spangled Rhythm holds together best, given its tenuous but amusing through-plot about sailors on leave, touring the Paramount lot and meeting Hope, Benny, Crosby, Preston Sturges, Cecil B. DeMille, Fred MacMurray, and others.
College Swing relies too heavily on Gracie Allen's stupefying density as the newly appointed Dean Of Men at a prestigious university, but the pale swing music generates unintentional laughs, and Hope and Allen have a classic setpiece at the climax, as he tries to transmit test answers to her via radio earphones.
