Love and Learn

Incognito, a rich girl (Martha Vickers) helps a songwriting team (Jack Carson, Robert Hutton). Janis Paige, Otto Kruger, Tom D’Andrea. Decker: Craig Stevens. Victoria: Barbara Brown. Mrs. Davis: Florence Bates. Amusing. Directed by Frederick de Cordova., Jack Carson and Robert Hutton make a curious but copacetic comedy duo in the Warner Bros. musical Love and Learn. The stars are cast as Jingles and Bob, a pair of would-be songwriters hoping to get a break on Broadway. Along comes Barbara Wyngate (Martha Vickers), a wealthy young woman who hopes to make it on her own in the Big Apple. Hiding her true identity, Barbara helps the boys behind the scenes without their knowing it. Inevitably, Jingles and Bob clash over Barbara’s affections, a problem that isn’t resolved until the last possible moment. Craig Stevens, TV’s future Peter Gunn, is featured in another of those “stuffed shirt” characterizations in which he was then specializing at Warners.
