As a student of irony I have just been hoist by my own petard. Apart from movies my other passion is Popular Song as the term was understood in the mid twentieth century and I had been searching for this particular film because of a song, performed by Gracie, with lyrics by Frank Loesser, at a time when he ws a lyricist-for-hire rather than a composer-lyricist. I finally tracked it down only to find that neither Loesser nor Matty Malneck, who wrote the Music, is credited, in fact there is no Music credit of any kind. As a fan of Burns and Allen I didn't have a problem with Gracie's persona and as a movie buff I revelled in a cast containing close to a dozen names of old favourites - Donald McBride, Jerome Cowan, H.B. Warner, Horace McMahon etc. Glad to have it for the Loesser song (Snug As A Bug In A Rug).
