When Eleanor Parker chose suspension over appearing in the third version of Harry Sauber's original story about an heiress who finds love while posing as a working-class woman, Martha Vickers stepped in, turning this slight comedy with songs into a follow-up to Warner's earlier The Time, the Place and the Girl (1946). That Technicolor musical had cast her as an opera singer who goes slumming at a nightclub run by Dennis Morgan, Jack Carson and Janis Paige. For the new picture, Warner's stuck to black-and-white, but still had Carson and Paige, with Robert Hutton filling in as romantic lead. He and Carson are songwriters, with Paige as Carson's girlfriend. They think Vickers is a taxi dancer, not realizing she's the one who funded their first song publication. When her father (Otto Kruger) shows up, they decide he must be her wealthy boyfriend, which throws a monkey wrench in the stars' budding romance. In earlier versions of Sauber's story, the heiress fell for a simple working guy, with Dick Powell and Josephine Hutchinson as the lovers in Happiness Ahead (1934) and Mildred Coles and Edward Norris teaming up for Here Comes Happiness (1941).
