Good Music and Funny, Likeable Characters.

If you're a fan of musicals or a fan of comedy, this is a good movie for you. Silent Film star Harry Langdon and Irene Ryan (Granny in the "Beverly Hillbillies" T. V. series) provide the main laughs, while delicious Dona Drake does the excellent singing. Star Robert Lowery went on to play the second movie Batman in the 1949 serial "Batman and Robin." Think of it as an Abbott and Costello movie that's only missing Abbott and Costello. Still a lot of fun even without them.
