George Abbott's Broadway play "Best Foot Forward" has been turned into one of the best musical comedy films of the year. Although the picture requires a good deal of imagination on the part of the audience for fall enjoyment it makes up for this evident weakness by fine Technicolor and of course by the presence of Harry James. The James band is not hidden away in the near distant scenery and plays nine songs. Maestro Harry cracks a few jokes and pushes his trumpet around the dance floor several times too.
Lucille Ball plays the part of a "bathing suit girl" actress who attends the Winsocki Military Academy prom to rejuvenate her position in the eyes of the public. Complications arise at the dance when a host of souvenir-minded girls succeed in ripping off a good portion of Miss Ball's attire. As an unpretentious bit of comedy, "Best Foot Forward" is a success because of its ready quips, uproarious scenes, and music that Duke Ellington would describe as "solid."
