Swing Out the Blues
1943, English. Directed by Malcolm St. Clair.
FOR THE SWINGTIME OF YOUR LIFETIME! with the screen's newest sweethearts of song and romance!
The film is partly a parody of The Goodwill Court, a popular radio problem hosted by advice-dispenser "Mr. Anthony". The host of a "What's your problem?" radio hour tries to smooth the romantic path of singer Rich Cleveland (Haymes) and his socialite wife Penelope (Lynn Merrick). The fly in the ointment is Dena Marshall (Janis Carter), who has set her sights on the handsome Rich.
