A year after her surprising comeback in Destry Rides Again, La Marlène plays an almost identical role as bar singer Bijou. This time Dietrich is not surrounded by cowboys but by sailors and John Wayne is allowed to be charmed by her this time. Dietrich sings standards such as "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" and of course "The Man's In The Navy" and there are the necessary brawls in which Broderick Crawford can indulge himself as the local Jerommeke. Oscar Homolka is excellent as the on-duty villain and the smooth direction of Tay Garnett and the chemistry between Dietrich and Wayne do the rest. Why reinvent the wheel when you can successfully recycle a golden formula?

Mrs. Dietrich, wherever she goes, men almost swoon over her, I must honestly say that I have never been a great fan of hers and in terms of beauty there were enough actresses who were more impressive, there are only a few actresses where I would find this kind of behavior from men credible, but Dietrich is certainly not one of them.

The romance between Wayne and Dietrich is also not very convincing in this somewhat strange story that is also supposed to pass as a comedy but never really becomes very funny.

Then we have Crawford as Bijou's most stupid bodyguard.
