Discovered singing while selling fruit, that favorite of all yokels, Judy Canova, takes on legitimate opera. Like what Debbie Reynolds would do for Jean Hagen in "Singin' in the Rain", Canova provides the voice for another performer while the jealous and bitchy Gloria Holden tried to expose Judy, literally singing from the rafters while another performer mouths the words. It's all pretty hokey material but Canova is very funny here.
Hailing Columbia after a few years as the queen of the Republic of Vera Hruba Ralston's husbands studio, Canova had a series of mixed scripts. A funny moment has Judy identifying what appears to be a ripe cantaloupe as a bald man. The whole plot is somewhat absurd and convoluted but thanks to Canova's spunk. That's future movie producer Ross Hunter as Judy's leading man. Grady Sutton adds laughs ad a rather effeminate performer who becomes part of Holden's vengeance.
