HIGHER AND HIGHER

Details

• Release Year: 1943
• Genre: Musical
• Plot: When He Crooned, Bobbysoxers Swooned!; ; From uppercrust to bread crusts! When wealthy Mr. Drake goes broke, the servants hatch a plan to restore his fortune and save their jobs: have a lovely maid pose as Drake's debutante daughter, hoping she'll land a rich beau. Soon a suitor arrives. 'Good morning,' he says, 'My name is Frank Sinatra.'; ; Making his acting debut (he was a vocalist in earlier films) in this merry musical comedy, Sinatra plays the boy next door and (naturally) knows his way around a song, taking on five here, soloing on 'The Music Stopped,' 'A Lovely Way to Spend an Evening' and 'I Couldn't Sleep a Wink Last Night.' Sinatra may be the enduring main attraction but he's not the only star on view: Victor Borge, Leon Errol, Barbara Hale, Jack Haley, Michele Morgan, Mel Torme, Mary Wickes and Dooley Wilson are also on hand. Encore!
