What happens

Bowery to Broadway is a 1944 American film starring Maria Montez, Jack Oakie, and Susanna Foster. Donald O'Connor and Peggy Ryan also had a small specialty act, and it was the only film they were in together where they did not have a name or character. The movie was made to showcase the singing talent at Universal. Montez only has a small role. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
