What a Bozo!

Charley is a night club band leader, with a yen for rich, snobby customer Elizabeth Forrester, and plagued by smart-aleck chorus girl Gay Seabrook. When Charley gets invited to Miss Forrester's party, he thinks he has a shot at her, but he's there to provide music for her idiotic pageant.

Charley offers a fine rendition of his theme song, "Smile When the Raindrops Fall" and his usual fine comedy gags, but it's the helium-voiced Miss Seakbrook who gets to set off the funniest bits here. I think that, barring Thelma Todd, she was the most capable leading comedienne Chase worked with, but apparently not suitable for the long run for whatever reasons Chase and Hal Roach settled on.

While some people may hold that this is far from the best comedy that Chase turned out -- and they'd be right -- it's like arguing which is the ugliest Sennett Bathing Beauty. This is a very funny comedy and that is good enough for me.
