Chris Cross and his comedy band sing and play a novelty number in this soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
I was taken aback when I started looking at this soundie, because Mr. Cross looks and sounds like George Murphy, dancer, MGM actor, and occasional US Senator.
