Tea for Two is loosely based on the Broadway hit No, No Nanette retaining some of the better songs from the score which of course include the delightful title tune. In it, a young heiress Nanette Carter, bets her uncle $25K that she can say "No" to everything for 48 hours. If she succeeds she can help her songwriter-boyfriend by financing his Broadway show which she'd then star in. Trouble is...her uncle cannot give her the money because he suffered badly from the Stock Market crash of October, 1929.

This movie may not be everyone's cup of tea but as with many of Doris's early musicals it is total escapism featuring some great numbers like Crazy Rhythm, I Only Have Eyes For You and Oh Me, Oh My!.
