I haven't always been the biggest fan of Kay Kyser's films. However I must admit I've never seen one that I thought was genuinely bad. My biggest complaints are usually directed at the corny humor that feels more suited for radio where he made his name. That's not much of an issue here. This film might be overshadowed by the more well-known "My Favorite Spy" starring Bob Hope and Hedy Lamarr but I actually think this one is funnier. Kyser does fine here but the real scene stealers are Jane Wyman, Ellen Drew, and a great supporting cast of reliable hands like William Demarest and Una O'Connor. If you've tried a Kay Kyser movie before and weren't impressed, give this one a look. It's pretty good.
