They’re the tip-tops in toe-taps!
The Story
Two college trumpet players keep flunking out on purpose, and keep competing for the same woman.
Danny and Hank string out their schooling for years while chasing both swing-band glory and the clever Ellen, who becomes their manager. When bandleader Artie Shaw lures Ellen away and dangles a coveted audition, the rivals start sabotaging themselves and each other. Fred Astaire dances up a storm in a breezy big-band musical comedy.
