A standout exhibit at the Ho Hum Convention this musical features a couple good songs, good hoofing by the Ebsens and Eleanor P and occasional amusement from Sid Silvers. But in general there's too much half ass Busby choreography, Jack Benny not being very funny and way too much Rat Fink Bob, who I noticed saved his good singing for HUAC fifteen years later. Solid C. PS...Would someone please explain the code to me? 'Cause I just don't get it. You're allowed to have a brother/sister dance team do a number where they're married but a real life married couple has to sleep in separate beds. (Did Will Hays have a thing for his sister?)
