Review of What a Blonde

What a Blonde (1945)
7/10
Lots of laughs
31 July 2003
The plot is obvious but who cares. Leon Errol was a master of the put-upon petty tyrant who is continually misunderstanding people and getting himself into trouble. (Paul Ford - Bilko's commanding officer -followed in his mold). The situations in this movie tend to be straight out of burlesque but even when you can see the events coming in advance (e.g., the wife unexpectedly coming home early) you still have to laugh out loud as they unfold. For those old enough to remember WW II you get taken back to meat and gasoline rationing and ration coupons. Younger people may go "Huh?" not understanding how desperate drivers were to obtain gasoline (think odd and even days at gas stations in the '70s). If you get a chance, see this movie and just have a good time!
