This film was produced during WW II, and the audiences of America needed COMEDY to up lift them from the Horrors of WAR! Kay Kyser,"Swinger Fever",'43, who play himself in this film, was very well liked and was also listened to on the RADIO. M.A. Bogue,(Ish Kabibble), as Ish Kabibble, who played trombone in the Kyser Band and also was a comic who wore bangs, was greatly admired. John Barrymore, played himself,"The Invisible Woman",'66, held this picture together and drew people to the movie houses. Barrymore was able to perform any role on the stage and gave a great performance in this film. However, Barrymore was beginning to have great health problems because of his great Chemical dependency. It is very easy to call this film SLAP STICK, but lets remember, it was 1941 and 63 years OLD!
