Something For The Boys could have been better; but then again it could have been far worse. The musical numbers are actually very well done except for one incredibly dated and embarrassing exception with Phil Silvers doing a short number in partial blackface. Ouch! On the brighter side again, the plot moves along nicely and this is essentially a light-hearted musical that you can enjoy. The choreography impressed me in those song and dance numbers; and I liked the cinematography ... Read More

Something for the Boys,while aimed directly at our fighting boys during WW2,surprsingly still offers up some delightful kicks for audiences now; going on over 60 years later!
The story involves three totally different people but all cousins:Harry Hart(Phil Silvers),Blossom Hart(Vivian Blaine) and Chaquita Hart(Carmen Miranda).Phil is a sidewalk salesman,Vivian a singer and Carmen works in a factory.All get summoned to a lawyers office to collect an inheritance but they have never met each other ...

"Something for the Boys" is the second film released in 1944 in which Carmen Miranda was the star attraction instead of supporting one of the Fox blonde superstars, Betty Grable and Alice Faye. This was a Col Porter stage musical, no less, but Fox managed to turn into one of their somewhat vulgar technicolour confections with the associated good and bad points.
The good points include:
- Miranda herself, with a larger part than usual and very funny as a human radio transmitter

BEAUTIFUL TRANSFER! Nice war time musical. Carmen shows her comedy side in this film and of course her over the top outfits! I won't go into the story line. If you're a Miranda fan, you'll enjoy this FOX TECHNICOLOR MUSICAL. Michael O'SHEA looks a little too old and his uniform is a few sizes too small...to bad they didn't cast PERRY COMO in this leading role. Also O'SHEA is not the best singer either...most all other cast members do a great job...EXCEPT...PHIL SILVERS who is loud and ANNOYING!

This film has been released so many times and always in poor quality. Not this time - this is a truly magnificent transfer. The vison and sound are the best!!!!! A bonus feature is to isolate the soundtrack - oh boy do you get a sound like no other - it is truly magnificent!!!!!!! I write this on behalf of Perry Como fans - buy this now - you will not be disappointed - thank you so much 20th Century Fox!!!!!!
