Trama
Lo sapevi?
- QuizThe "Fountain Pen Sketch" was taken from the hit musical "Make Mine Manhattan" that opened in New York on 15 January 1948 at the Broadhurst Theatre, 235 W. 44th St. and ran for 429 performances, and starred Sid Caesar. Max Showalter, who performs that specialty number in this movie, was also in that opening night cast playing the same role, as well as others.
- BlooperAfter Kip meets with Eagen, a brief clip is shown of a train heading to Boston, with a Southern Pacific locomotive. The Southern Pacific Railroad served California and the south west, and would not have gone to Boston or anywhere in the northeast.
- Citazioni
Monte Wilson: [Checking out Kip's suit] Very conservative.
Kipling 'Kip' Cooper: Conservative? Why it could be elected on a Republican ticket without anyone in it.

Recensione in evidenza
Milton Berle acting and gay subtext too
I happened upon this film by accident whilst I was channel surfing. Having never seen "Uncle Milty" in an acting role before I just had to stop and watch.
While this films story is one of those behind the scenes show biz stories of a comic trying to get into the big time, what I found to be absolutely fascinating was the character of Rene played by Iphigenie Castiglioni in what can only be read as a very, very lesbian night club owner for whom Berle auditions doing a comedic routine playing the piano and singing Miss Otis Regrets, a song written by the very gay Cole Porter.
The nightclub owner Rene with her mannish hairstyle, tuxedo (worn during the day!) and long, long cigarette holder with her aperitif is the quintessential gay stereotype for the era. How the combination of Rene in her garb and the suggestive Cole Porter song got past the censors is beyond me, but I am sure it was quite appreciated by gay audience members as an acknowledgment of their presence in show business.
