Oh MY.... so many fun names in this. Ann Sheridan could play big parts, small parts, and do it well. check her out in Man Who Came to Dinner. Dick Powell, started out as a singer, did some singing/actor roles, then more serious film roles without the singing. the awesome sidekick Grady Sutton. Ronald Reagan, actor, governor, president! Helen Broderick, the amazing wisecracker in so many Fred Astaire films. Allen Jenkins and Jerry Colonna, always the co-stars. Vera Lewis. Don't forget the incredible Zasu Pitts... probably best known as the sweet, innocent girl who is about to get taken to the cleaners. WOW. the producers sure rounded up the cream of the crop! Zelda and Don (Sheridan and Powell) hit the charts with their new numbers, and the rest of the actors circle around with supporting roles. Colonna was a professional musician, so it was hard work for him to pretend to be awful. the story itself is rawtha silly, but it's great to see all these big names, who would go on to be even bigger. Sadly, Powell and Sheridan would both die quite young. Directed by Ray Enright. started with Mack Sennett in silents, on to the talkies! Catch this one, just for the various hollywood big wigs.
