Here Come the Waves is a fun little musical comedy typical of classic Hollywood. Betty Hutton stars in two parts as twins Rosemary and Susan, showgirls who decide to do their part for the war and join the Navy. The female branch of the Navy are called the Waves, hence the title. After training, Susan is delighted to find out that her favorite singer, Johnny Cabot (Bing Crosby) is also joining the Navy. She does all she can to track him down and win him over, only she can't help but faint everytime he's around. Rosemary has the opposite problem; she has absolutely no interest in Johnny and yet he pines for her. All three plot and scheme along with Windy (Sonny Tufts) to win each other over, causing quite a few mishaps and many laughs. <br /> <br />Of course, what would a movie with Hutton and Crosby be without music? There are many songs throughout the film done similarly to the way early musicals incorperated song. Either someone is putting on a show or in some cases, someone is romancing another through song. Songs like "There's A Fella Waiting in Poughkeepsie" and "Accentuate the Positive" are upbeat and fun while "I'll Promise You" and "Let's Take the Long Way Home" are more dreamlike and sweet.
Viewer Reviews A little known, little watched movie, but classic Bing Crosby and Betty Hutton. (By the way, my mom was in the movie as one of the singing WAVEs, so I am a bit biased).
