Strike Up The Band (1940) / Vi Jazzkonger
Teens Jimmy Connors (Mickey Rooney) and Mary Holden (Judy Garland) lift their school's spirits when they update it's stodgy orchestra into a swing band, but can they raise enough cash for the kids to hit the road and compete in front of Paul Whiteman (as himself)? Second scintillating Garland-Rooney musical co-stars June Preisser, William Tracy, Larry Nunn; Busby Berkeley directs. Score includes "Our Love Affair," "Nobody," "Nell of New Rochelle," and the title tune.
