Alice Faye tries really hard here as "Trixie" who begs, blags and borrows in order to take part in the "Powder Puff" air race across the USA - the prize is a whopping great $100,000! Her main competitor is the wealthy "Gerry" (pronounced "Gary" - Constance Bennett).

The film itself is nothing at all to write home about. The writing is bland and most…
