At the time that Night Spot was being made, Harry Parke was enjoying some popularity as a regular on Eddie Cantor's radio show where he went by the character name of Parkyakarkus. Someone at RKO decided that he could carry
a picture and so Parke got top billing playing a supporting role. It really doesn't
work out.
The leads are Allan Lane and Joan Wodbury. Lane is a trumpet player who has joined the police force and Woodbury is an alibi witness for nightclub owner and gangster Bradley Page. Lane and buddy Gordon Jones infiltrate Page's club orchestra as musicians to get the real story and I think you can figure the rest out.
Parke who was a good dialect zany comedian was good on radio in his bits for Eddie Cantor just can't quite cut it when it came to carrying a picture. He's so dumb you can't figure out why Page would hire this imbecile.
Lee Patrick, Jack Carson, and Cecil Kellaway all of whom had some substantial movie careers are in supporting roles of various sizes.
You have to be a big fan of Parkyakakrus to really like Night Spot.
