Margie

Overview

Newlyweds Bret (Tom Brown) and Margie (Nan Grey) both aspire to show-biz careers: he wants to be a songwriter, while she is desirous of becoming a radio scripter. Inevitably, Bret and Margie quarrel and break up, only to be reunited by their efforts to snag ""banana king"" Gomez (Mischa Auer) for a lucrative radio contract. The old 1920s tune ""Margie"" is heard throughout the proceedings, frequently fitted out with ludicrous new lyrics (""Bananas! We're Always Thikin' of Bananas!"" etc.) by a zany songwriting team (Eddie Quillan and Wally Vernon).
