Insipid musical biography. Bolger is the highlight.

No offence to the lovely blond June Haver, but I was here for Ray Bolger. You know, the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz (1939). He only sporadically appeared in movies, even rarer in lead roles, so that's why Look for the Silver Lining (1949) sticks-out among the countless other musicals of the time. Otherwise it's the same formula done in hundreds of movies of this kind.
