Joan Davis!
2 March 2024
Joan Davis is the trash sorter at a swanky Chicago hotel. When two Portuguese playwrights tear up their script and toss it in the chute, Miss Davis finds it. Since she's also Ann Savage's and Jinx Falkenberg's theatrical agent, she ships it to Broadway producer Emory Parnell. He loves it, and he loves Miss Savage and Miss Falkenberg as Portugese. However, the Portuguese have redrafted their script, and sell it to competing producer, who....

Who cares? It's a Black & White wartime musical, which means it will all end well with a big, patriotic production number. Meanwhile, there's Miss Davis to contend with. She breaks the fourth wall, talks to herself, gets hoisted in the air, and similar shenanigans to the general and my approval. Never mind that the Portuguese word is 'senhoritas' or that the ladies' singing is dubbed. With Leslie Brooks, Ramsay Ames, and Charles C. Wilson.
