Meet the People

While at a war bond rally in a Delaware shipyard, starry-eyed welder Swanee Swanson (Dick Powell) becomes infatuated with Broadway star Julie Hampton (Lucille Ball). Swanee reveals to Julie that he has written a musical, "Meet the People," that celebrates the working class. An impressed Julie pitches the idea to her producer. But when the play is transformed into a flashy Broadway extravaganza, the idealistic Swanee is left feeling bitter, and his trust for Julia is tarnished.
