La West is cast as Fay Lawrence, a famous Broadway actress who is loved intensely by her producer Tony Ferris (William Gaxton). Rival producer Forrest Stanton (Alan Dinehart) steals Fay away from Ferris by convincing her that she's been blacklisted from Broadway by blue-nosed moralist Hannah Bainbridge (Almira Sessions).

The heat is off, most definitely. It's barely a Mae West movie...more like a Hazel Scott movie. She is sensational, especially in "The White Keys and the Black Keys", obliterating any memory of Mae West's performing. What it REALLY is is a wartime movie--complete with Victory garden propaganda song--and rather typical in format: a series of musical numbers interspersed with "plot"-advancing skits. Poor Mae--it's her first movie she didn't have a hand in writing, and she's nowhere near her best.

This one's underrated, if for Victor Moore comic performance alone. Probable the best you'll ever see William Gaxton as well. Those two really get the most out of their parts. Though, the attraction is naturally Mae West. She commands the screen regardless of her facial expression feeling soulless in this one. She is attitude, and with that you know The Heat's On (1943).
