Little known Warner Brothers film, but some well known actors. Dennis Morgan was a huge bigshot in hollywood, and Jack Carson was usually the wisecracking sidekick. and of course, Dorothy Malone was the beauty in so many films. one interesting note: the film is about Texas, but in the opening scene, that sure looks like a joshua tree in the backdrop, which should only be found in the mojave desert, north of palm springs! Danny and Steve are on the way to California, but run out of gas, and get sidetracked at a dude ranch right in the heart of Texas. Danny's fear of animals is the running gag here, and it's a little over the top,with the antics and sound effects. also an early role for Fred Clark,who was so great in How to Marry a Millionaire. about halfway through, there's a quick cameo by Bug Bunny (Mel Blanc). and cartoon versions of Carson and Morgan. all in technicolor. There's just something missing in this film -- the energy, the magic between the actors. not anyone's best work. the songs are a lot of work, and the jokes just aren't as funny. meh. Directed by David Butler. had made a bunch of films with Hope and Crosby. not recommended. i usually like Jack Carson films.
