"The Time, The Place, and The Girl" turns out to be an all-too-typical musical, straight off the moviemakers seemingly endless assembly line. Jack Carson does his best to liven things up a bit, handling a sparse handful of gags with a veteran hand, and most of the musical numbers, though of no great significance, are pleasant enough to the eye and ear, but that's about...
