Why did scandal always follow LULU BELLE... Men found out about her too late.

Lulu Belle is singing in a cheap dive in Natchez, Mississippi in the early 1900's when she meets rising young attorney George Davis. He gives up his fiancée and career to marry Lulu Bell. When his money runs out, Lulu Belle goes to work in a New Orleans club run by tough gambler Mark Brady. She tries to send George back to Natchez by pretending that she has fallen for prize-fighter Butch Cooper but George, in a fit of jealousy, drives a handful of forks into Butch's face. He is sent to prison and Lulu goes to New York with millionaire Harry Randolph, who makes her the singing sensation of Broadway and asks her to marry him. She refuses when she learns that George has been released from prison, realizing that he is the only man she ever truly loved.

Dorothy Lamour is quite good in this tale of the avaricious young “Lulu”. She falls for a local young attorney “George” (George Davis) and marries him, but once she has burned through all of his money she moves on to the wealthy “Randolph” (Otto Kruger) via a job at a dodgy nightclub working for “Brady” (Albert Dekker) where she uses a supposed dalliance with prize fighter “Butch” (Greg McClure) as an excuse to send her husband packing. In a fit of jealousy, though, “George” attacks the boxer and impales his face on some cutlery! He goes to jail and she to Broadway where success beckons on stage and off. Will she marry the millionaire or might there still be a lingering sense of affection for poor, hapless, “George”? The romantic elements here are all a bit old hat, as is the plot, but Lamour does show just why she was a star with a solid performance as well as holding her own with some decent musical numbers and generally holding the whole thing together. McClure also chips in quite engagingly as her boxing paramour and it moves along quite well after a bit of a stodgy start. It’s not a film you are likely to recall watching for long, but it passes the time fine.
