Follow the Fleet
In the Super-Dreadnought of Musical Shows
Directed by Mark Sandrich
Produced by RKO Radio Pictures
A buoyant 1930s musical comedy centered on sailors, dancing, and romantic entanglements, built almost entirely on spectacle, charm, and the joy of performance.
When the US Navy fleet docks at San Francisco, sailor Bake Baker tries to rekindle the flame with his old dancing partner, Sherry Martin, while Bake's buddy Bilge Smith romances Sherry's sister, Connie. But it's not all smooth sailing—Bake has a habit of losing Sherry's jobs for her and, despite Connie's dreams, Bilge is not ready to settle down.
