Zitate
Freddy: We used to play touch football in grammar school. We had a saying. It went, "It matters not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game."
Duke: Yeah, that's a swell one.
Freddy: Yeah. We liked it because we always lost.

Separately successful

The careers of Peter Marshall and Tommy Noonan, successful as singles never quite made it as a comedy team as demonstrated by Swinging Along.

In this Marshall is a grifter who owes some big bucks to bookie Mike Mazurki and needs a place to lie low. Along comes Tommy who is a Jerry Lewis like schlepp who lives with Aunt Connie Gilchrist. A game of billiards brings these two together.

Noonan was good at both comedy and drama and sadly died young. Marshall became known as the host of Hollywood Squares. Barbara Eden is here as the love interest.

As a tram, just not meant to be.
