Step Lively is a 1944 American musical film directed by Tim Whelan and starring Frank Sinatra. Step Lively was based on the play Room Service, by Allen Boretz and John Murray. This was a remake of the 1938 RKO movie "Room Service", starring the Marx Brothers, Lucille Ball, and Ann Miller.

Synopsis

Une troupe de comédiens, un auteur et un producteur n'ont qu'une seule idée en tête : monter le spectacle grandiose de leurs rêves. Si le manque de budget se fait cruellement ressentir et donne lieu à des discordes, la pièce prend tout de même forme, au prix de nombreux efforts. Cependant, un problème subsiste : la place du rôle masculin est toujours vacante alors que la date de la première représentation arrive à grands pas.

The setting is San Francisco; Joey Evans (Frank Sinatra) is a second-rate singer, a heel known for his womanizing ways (calling women "mice"), but charming and funny. When Joey meets Linda English (Kim Novak), a naive chorus girl, he has stirrings of real feelings. However, that does not stop him from romancing a former flame and ex-stripper (Joey says, "She used to be 'Vera...with the Vanishing Veils'"), now society matron Vera Prentice-Simpson (Rita Hayworth), a wealthy, willful, and lonely widow, in order to convince her to finance his dream, "Chez Joey", a night club of his own.
