Babes in Arms is more than "box office" entertainment. It is the triumphant cry or youth that will carry on when today's stars pale into memories.

Mildred Martin

If the film lacks something of the engaging freshness Babes in Arms had on the stage, it retains the bounce and the breezy comedy.

Babes in Arms wouldn't be so much of a film for the back stage story fundamentally is trite were it not for the animated work of its stars, and the incidental doings.

The film has lavish scenes elaborate song and dance numbers and a plausible narrative to string it together.
