Pleasant Programmer
6 July 2011
Bouncy little programmer thanks to a lively turn from comedienne Joan Davis (Polly). She's a piano teacher turned music publisher with a mad crush on her dentist, of all people. Of course, complications ensue of the romantic and even the business kind. But whenever the pace slows, Davis kicks in with a bit of funny business. Catch her mad meal with the ditzy Oscar (Willis) that puts a whole new slant on chicken pot pie. In fact, her rubbery face and physical grace suggest a distaff version of slapsticker Red Skelton whose film career was also taking off. Nice support from Jane Frazee handling the glamour department; plus, a novelty appearance by Les Gotcher (later of the Pied Pipers) as the singing swami. Nothing special here, just an amusingly tuneful 70-minutes, courtesy Columbia Pictures.
