Going Places
US (1938): Musical/Comedy/Romance
Ray Enright directs this Warner Bros. release about Peter Mason (Dick Powell), a salesman at a sporting goods store who wants to advertise their line of riding clothes. Since they have the rights to famous jockey Peter Randall, who is in Australia, Peter will impersonate him at the Steeple Chase. At the event, he is invited to a party by Cora (Minna Gombell) and sees young Ellen Parker (Anita Louise). Since all Ellen and Peter have in common is horses, he continues the charade to woo her. But two gamblers try to make money on the race by fixing him up with the wild "Jeepers Creepers," a horse that can jump high and run like the wind. But he will only calm down enough to be ridden when his trainer Gabriel (Louis Armstrong) plays his trumpet. Cast also includes Allen Jenkins, Ronald Reagan, Walter Catlett and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson. (IMDb)
