Girl Rush

Abbott & Costello were so popular in the 1940s that RKO tried creating their own version of the team when they paired Wally Brown with Alan Carney. They made quite a few films together in the three years they were paired but nowadays they're practically unheard of by most film fans.

When "Girl Rush" begins, Jerry and Mike (Brown and Carney) are a successful act during the old west. But they go from popular to nothing when gold is discovered and folks stop attending their show. So they travel the west looking for opportunities. In one town, they find that the men there are starving for entertainment....and girls. And, some of the locals are tired of the nasty clipjoint in town and want something better...so they pay the boys to bring a show with LOTS of girls to their town...not realizing that the boys have no idea HOW they'll possibly do this.

In addition to Carney and Brown, the film features a young Robert Mitchum...which isn't surprising since the story is set in the old west and Mitchum mostly made westerns at this point in his budding career.

Overall, the film is silly fun...and VERY much like an Abbott & Costello flick Very similar and worth seeing.
