Ellen Drew and Bob Haymes in Sing While You Dance (1946)

Greatv rare "B" musical...except NO KIRBY GRANT

Very little, if any, dancing, in a second rate B musical.

This is a great Columbia piece from the era. Ellen Drew is as pretty as ever and delivers a good performance along with co star Robert Stanton, now here is a problem, let me explain. Kirby Grant was given the name Robert Stanton early in his career and so was Bob Haymes, brother of Dick. This is not Kirby Grant in this film as is listed in the credits. This is Bob Haymes. By this time Grant has taken his own name for his roles where Haymes was still using the AKA.Furthermore Grant was not employed by Columbia he was at Universal. A very confusing situation indeed. Just check the film and compare it to other Grant films and Haymes films and you will see that it is definitely Bob Haymes. However, aside from this mistake, this is a must see for all Drew fans and Musical fans of the genre. A very hard to find film which has never aired on current or past TV in the last 20 years to my knowledge anyway. I have a copy from 16mm on DVD and enjoyed it.

Sing While You Dance

Columbia&#39;s Rita Hayworth and Ann Miller had nothing to worry about as far as musical competition in this movie. The only female who sings is built way down in the credits, someone named Amanda Lane who is adequate but certainly not star material. The story focuses on Ellen Drew and Bob Haymes who play a song plugging agent and an agency representative who searched for the composer and lyrics of a song that has made a splash in the nightclub where Lane sings. They end up in a small town in a lot of trouble trying to dig up information on the composer and lyricists,, encountering feisty widow Ethel Griffies who is the cast that anybody would turn her husband&#39;s poetry into a song that in real life would probably not end up on the hit parade.<br/><br/>This is simply just a moderately enjoyable musical, a combination of big city sophistication and small-town folksy humor, probably a bit too plot-heavy for its own good. The cast doesn&#39;t really include anybody outstanding and the only person outside of Drew and Griffies really instantly recognizable is Mary Gordon as Drew&#39;s landlady. The lack of star quality makes this a mostly dull secondary feature whose only remarkable detail is the fact that Drew is fighting to succeed in an obvious man&#39;s occupation.
