    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Filmed between November 22 and mid-December 1948, the movie was held back three years until its Manhattan opening at the Paramount Theatre on December 25, 1951. The delay prompted Groucho Marx to write a letter to Howard Hughes in January, 1951 asking for the film to be released because Groucho had not seen it himself. The letter is included in Groucho's book "The Groucho Letters."
    • Goofs
      When Johnny Dalton (Frank Sinatra) is first in Hot Horse Harris' office the phone rings while they are talking. The Bookie picks up the phone and says into the it, "Hold it". He then goes on with his conversation with Dalton, only when he covers the phone with his hand, he covers the ear piece, not the mouth piece. Conversation can still be heard.
    • Quotes

      Johnny Dalton: And if we did get married, how would we manage? I have nothing. How would we live?

      Mildred 'Mibs' Goodhug: I'm sure something would come along.

      Johnny Dalton: Yeah. And we'd have to feed that too.

    Of Sinatra, Jane, and Groucho.
    This move is set some time in the 1940s, so plug that in and go along for the ride. Sinatra stars as an honest man, eking out a living as a bank teller but not enough for marriage. By chance, he's captured by the underworld and makes a mint. He can marry Jane Russell, something the wisecracking waiter, Groucho Marx, seems to want. But there has been an apparent embezzlement at the bank where Sinatra works, and its discovery is timed exactly with Sinatra's underworld winnings. He did not embezzle the money, but he can't rightly say he did come by it. But Groucho is there to help him, and we all know what that means.

    This is a nifty film with a few good twists and its share of laughs.

    There is a scene where "Johnny Dalton" is lying in his bed in his apartment and Mibs Goodhue in her bed in hers, separated by wall. Dalton starts to sing.

    "You know," I teased to my wife, "that guy sounds a lot like Sinatra." "It is," she deadpanned in reply.

    "Looks too young to be Sinatra." Yeah, 't was 1951. If you want to go back for a spell, this one will take you there.
