Anecdotes
The film is a musical rendering of the Broadway play, 'Room Service' which was also filmed and, later, performed on television. The play opened on May 19, 1937 at the Cort Theatre, 138 W. 48th St. and ran for 500 performances. An unsuccessful revival in 1953 ran for 16 performances.

Gaffes
In the finale, Wagner and Gribble are shown at the back of the theater in a close shot with Wagner on the left; it cuts to a long shot, and their positions are reversed.

A Flawed Comedy

An uneven script plagues "Step Lively", which, despite the addition of songs, cannot even live up to the entertainment value of "Room Service", the Marx Brothers comedy that came first. But manic does not equal madcap. And frenzied does not equal funny. And George Murphy is no Groucho Marx.

The best parts of the film are the Sinatra stylings and some of the onstage performances within the film. But Frank is underused. He had not yet been recognized for his filmic appeal. And those elements of the onstage song and dance numbers that are visually arresting are undermined by more numerous examples of special effects and editing decisions that fail. It's all very hit or miss.

No doubt the teen bobby-soxers of 1945 appreciated Frank's cinematic charisma and his smooth crooning, and were able to ignore the rest of the film. But as we now view it within the context of his entire film career, it can only be viewed as anemic.
