Something For The Boys - Something For The Boys - DVD

In SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS, three New York cousins - machinist Blossom (Vivian Blaine), showgirl Chiquita (Carmen Miranda), and con man Harry (Phil Silvers) - inherit Magnolia Manor, a Texas plantation. A charming family summer house, right? Wrong: This particular parcel is plagued by termites, taxes, and other troubles. Soon Sgt. Rocky Fulton (Michael O'Shea) from the nearby Army base makes them an offer they can't refuse: He'll convert the ramshackle old place into a home for Army wives. The Hart cousins still have to pay the bills until the place is ready to open... so they decide to put on a show! Of course things go awry along the way, with romantic and military complications, and other hijinx (Blossom begins to pick up radio transmissions via her fillings). This rollicking musical comedy features songs by Cole Porter, including "Hey, Good Lookin'" and "Could It Be You?"
