Featured review
Carole Landis Makes It Worth Watching
I am watching this right now on TCM. Newlyweds Jake and Helen Justis (George Murphy and Carole Landis) are on their honeymoon when they see a musician being stuffed into a trunk. They decide to find out what's going on and enlist their lawyer friend Mike Malone (Pat O'Brien) to come along. The clues lead them to a resort hotel where all sorts of slapstick highjinks take place. The physical comedy bits are reminiscent of The Ritz Brothers. George Murphy, with his huge grin, looks like a combination of The Joker and Howdy Doody. Pat O'Brien always wound up as second banana. Carole Landis really brings a lot of energy to her role and seems to enjoy the light comedy. She is always worth watching. Other familiar faces in this movie are George Zucco, Richard Martin, (Tim Holt's B-western sidekick), Lenore Aubert, Gloria Holden (Dracula's Daughter), and Wee Willie Davis. And be sure to watch at about 43 minutes into the movie for a brief view of blonde Chili Williams. She was known as "The Polka Dot Girl." Chili received over 100,000 fan letters after a photo of her wearing a polka dot bikini appeared in Life Magazine. She got a movie contract and appeared in a few films, always clad in a polka dot outfit. And she is definitely wearing polka dots in her brief appearance here. Not an overly good movie but not real bad either. Watch it to see Carole Landis.
