Even Betty Hutton playing twins can't do much to drag "Here Come the Waves" out of the rut which Hollywood hopefully labels "musical comedy." The picture is labored and lacks the spark which comes from inspired production...
...plot, like something out of Arabian Nights, takes Robert Hutton, amorous Yale man in "Janie," rapidly from New Guinea, to the Hollywood canteen, the arms of Joan Leslie, and almost the altar, before a troop train arrives to carry him off. The story's main excuse is to try to form a link between the musicalia, which appear every ten minutes. Like "Thank Your Lucky Stars" and "Thousands Cheer," this movie is just an unoriginal variation on the star parade theme...
...office work, as lavishly over minor details as major crises. All of each evening, until a normal 3 a.m., she keeps right on working-at parties. The only thing that can keep her away from a party given by Elsa Maxwell, Lady Mendl or Cobina Wright Sr. or Barbara Hutton Grant or Ouida Rathbone or Baron Rothschild is an earthquake, a flood, or possibly a runny nose.

There was Aimee's third marriage in 1931 to portly David Hutton, one of her choristers, and their divorce three years later. There was a suit for slander brought by daughter Roberta which cost Aimee $2,000, and another for $1,080,000 brought by Rheba Crawford Splivalo, Aimee's colleague at the Temple, which was settled out of court. But through...
