Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLou Costello always suspected that their studio, Universal Pictures, wasn't giving he and Bud Abbott the agreed-upon share of the profits the studio made from their films (a suspicion later proven--as a result of legal action they took against the studio--to be true). Therefore, he developed a habit of picking out furniture he liked from the sets of their films and taking them home, considering it payback for what he believed to be Universal's cheating. One day director Charles Lamont showed up on the set to shoot a scene at the ice skating rink only to discover that all the wrought-iron patio furniture that had been there the previous day had disappeared. Costello denied any knowledge of it, and Lamont said he would shoot no more scenes until the furniture was returned. A compromise was finally reached whereby Costello would bring back the furniture, the scene would be shot, and then he would be allowed to take all of the furniture back home.

Featured review
silly comedy doesn't need singing
I would like these sorts of movies a lot better if they didn't have the musical scenes. I watch these movies strictly to laugh. Certainly plenty of scenes made me laugh (namely the snowball scene). One can imagine being a fairly intelligent guy like Abbott's character always having to deal with a brainless sap like Costello's character and how annoying it would be.
So, even though the singing drags the movie down, I recommend it overall. Pretty entertaining.
Tied up for a while indeed...
PS: Sheldon Leonard, who played Silky, later produced "The Danny Thomas Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show". He also provided his voice to Robert McKimson's cartoons "Kiddin' the Kitten" and "A Peck o' Trouble" as a lazy cat who tries to make a kitten do his work.
