...first starred in movies (he was nearly 30 when "The Big Broadcast" came out) and as his career ripened he had to adjust. In "Here Come the Waves" he was still playing a crooner who makes the girls scream, but here he was impersonating not himself but the younger Sinatra, who had become the bobbysoxer's rage. By the 1950s Crosby was part of a parade of aging male stars (Bogart, Cooper, Gable) making love to actresses young enough to be their daughters.

Her costumes were outrageous and provocative, and her production numbers brought to mind (for those of us who keep track of excesses from all eras) the best moments of Ann-Margret and Nancy Sinatra - although even Ann and Nancy never came on variety shows decked out as an Aztec goddess, a female boxer or a geisha girl...
