This backstage musical features dancing ironing boards and puzzle pieces amongst its surreal delights. Blondell, Keeler and Powell sing, dance and chew up the scenery in a hoary plot about a rich blue nose's attempts to close down a Broadway show. (official distributor synopsis)

Thanks to The Busby Berkeley Collection, the film is available in excellent quality. Of course, the saying "in spite of her age" is dubious and I can add that I find Joan Blondell to be an excellent comedian. However, what would such a film be without Busby's kaleidoscopic eye, right? :)
