Beautiful But Broke

The story follows Waldo Main, a theatrical agent who, after being inducted into the army, leaves his agency in the hands of his secretary, Dottie Duncan. Dottie takes on the challenge of organizing an all-girl orchestra to compensate for the absence of musicians called to service. Alongside aspiring singers and songwriters Sally Richards and Sue Ford, Dottie’s attempts to secure engagements for the group are filled with comedic misadventures.

Featuring a talented cast that includes Joan Davis, Jane Frazee, and John Hubbard, Beautiful But Broke combines lighthearted comedy with musical performances.

Collectors may find this film appealing for its musical elements and the screwball comedy style that defines many productions of its time.
