Twenty Girls and a Band is a quirky 1938 musical directed by Leslie Goodwins. The film has this light-hearted charm, with Nick Stuart and his band pulling off a masquerade as an all-girl group to perform at a fancy girls' school dance. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, but that adds to its playful tone. The performances are entertaining, especially how they navigate the ridiculousness of the situation. The practical effects in terms of costumes are really something to note—watching these guys in feminine attire is both amusing and oddly endearing. It explores themes of identity and deception with a humorous touch that keeps you engaged, even if it teeters into the absurd here and there.
