Tony Hunter, a famous singer/dancer movie star, is feeling washed-up and old-hat (old top hat, tie, and tails to be exact). The reporters are out for Ava Gardner, not him. But his old friends Lily and Les Marton have an idea for a funny little Broadway show and he agrees to do it. But things begin to get out of hand, when bigshot "artistic" director/producer/star Jeffrey Cordova joins the production, proclaims its a modernistic Faust and insists on hiring a prima ballerina, Gabrielle Gerard, to star opposite Tony, and its hate at first sight. And her jealous choreographer isnt helping to ease the tension. The show is doomed by pretentiousness. But romance, a "lets put on a show" epiphany, and a triumphant opening are waiting in the wings. After all, this is a musical comedy.
With his Hollywood movie career coming to an end, one-time Broadway star Troy Hunter returns to New York at the behest of his friends Lily and Lester Marton, to star in their new Broadway musical. The Martons have already settled on director Jeffrey Cordova, which is the beginning of their problems. Cordova has never directed a musical and from the beginning sees the play as as being a work of art with grand themes. Needless to say, it doesnt play well in previews and its left to Troy to save the show--wooing his costar Gabrielle at the same time. The movies features the song Thats Entertainment.
