The title refers to the fact that this is really two features in one. The first movie, in black and white, is titled Dynamite Hands. It stars Harry Hamlin as a boxer who really wants to go to college but has to fight to pay for an expensive eye operation for his kid sister (Kathleen Beller). John Garfield could have played it and Clifford Odets could have written it if either one of them had had a self-deprecating sense of humor. Next up, a Technicolor musical called Baxter's Beauties of 1933 where the ingenue understudy (Ann Reinking in her screen debut) has to step-in to perform for the show's suddenly incapacitated star (Trish Van Devere). In both movies, many of the sets are re-used and many of the same actors appear as different characters just as a cost-conscious studio like Warner Bros. with its contract players, backlot and soundstages would have done. There's even a coming attraction preview for a non-existent World War I aviation drama.
Also starring George C. Scott, Eli Wallach, Red Buttons and Art Carney.
