In Junction 88, a small all-black community, pretty Lolly Simpkins loves gentle songwriter Buster Jenkins, who makes too little money to marry. Her father favors rival suitor Onnie, crude but with a better income. Buster's best chance comes when impresario Bob Howard, to whom he's sent songs, comes to town looking for him. But Bob is looking for a pseudonym, 'Hewlett Green', that nobody's ever heard of. Will Buster reveal himself? Meanwhile, a very jazzy church concert.

That was an excellent one.

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This lightweight musical doesn't have much of a script, but some nice mugging and singing by Bob Howard and Pigmeat Markham (!). The songs are all original and as good as most mainstream musicals, but the one gospel number is strange and under-rehearsed. Its 55 minutes pass by quickly because of the pretty women (especially Marie Cooke, who sings also) and fun music. Mostly tin pan alley, but there's a blues number too!
