Hellzapoppin' (1941)
Country: US
Technical: bw 84m
Director: H. C. Potter
Cast: Ole Olsen, Chic Johnson, Martha Raye
Synopsis:
A pair of stage comedians are hired to make a movie, which doesn't work out, so they join forces with a writer for a story about young lovers wanting to put on a show...
Review:
One of the most ragtag, surreal concoctions ever to come out of a Hollywood studio (Universal), even including the Marx Brothers. You can put it down to the war and the hell-for-leather packing in of every possible lived experience before your number is up, if you like, but your reception will depend on taste or, one suspects, what you have had to eat and drink.
