You'll Never Get Rich (1941)

To allay his wife's suspicions, a theater owner has his choreographer pretend to be the romantic partner of a dancer whom he (the theater owner) is courting. This gets the choreographer into trouble (or so he thinks) and in order to get away he enlists in the army. Trouble soon follows him, but fortunately so does romance.

To be frank, I quite enjoyed the first 20 minutes or so of this musical comedy. When the action is moved to an army training camp it becomes another military propaganda movie, and its entertaining value oscillates. Also, the main character is a wimp; it is puzzling that the leading lady should prefer him to her fiancé, who seems to be a much more successful person without any noticeable personal flaws. The songs and musical numbers are not  among the best in the genre, either.
