What a cast - Groucho Marx, beautiful Jane Russell at her young, sensual height and a young Sinatra. Nestor Paiva nearly steals the entire show in a minor part.
This movie has a lot going for it in the quick-paced beginning. Some great humor bits beginning at the Friendly Bank.
So what went wrong?
A million holes in the story, shoddy camerawork and an overall cheap production look.
Marx is bouncing off the walls here, showing how great he is even without the benefit of his brothers or the great writing/production teams he benefited from in the 30's.
There is some clever dialogue here that keeps things moving and entertaining.
There are some nicely done scenes.
Basically a lot of suspension of disbelief is required but it is a fun ride.
