                Somehow I couldn't help but think this could have been a bit better.
                This B-movie from Republic features Jean Parker (Linda) and Phil Regan (Jimmy). When the story begins, Linda is a director of cartoons for Mammoth Pictures and she's trying to find the right singing voice for a cartoon pig. The three guys who audition are pretty bad and eventually she happens upon a policeman, Jimmy, and convinces him he'll be a movie star. But what she neglected to tell him it will be as a cartoon character. The two fall in love and quickly marry. Only after they marry does he learn the truth about his film career and he runs off and sulks for most of the rest of the film.

                This has a decent kernel of a story and I liked seeing a lady cartoon director. But the reaction of everyone to seeing the cartoon and hearing Jimmy's voice seemed way, way overdone....as if it was the funniest cartoon ever made. It clearly wasn't funny at all....and Jimmy's reaction to this also seemed overdone. All in all, the fine momentum of the first portion of the film just wasn't sustained through the rest of the story...making it a time passer and nothing more.
