Low budget, high returns
Interesting historically, in that Frank Sinatra, the Number One singer of his time, was billed below Jane Russell and Groucho Marx! Not that Jane and Julius are not top billing material, but within a few years - and "From Here To Eternity" and a new record contract - Sinatra would rule show business. As music historians know, Frank Sinata's record sales dipped around 1946 through 1952, and he dappled in smaller venues, some TV - and "B" pictures.Yes, this film can be considered a "B", but the Director, Writers, and stars put togther a very entertaining film, which really mines the talents of all involved. Great to see so much of Groucho, very much in character, and having some very funny bits as a woulda-been financial mogul - he's a waiter in an old Mom & Pop eatery; Frank Sinatra is predictably dynamic - his role could be described as a Junior Bank Executive, whose personal finances have a discrepancy between earnings and dreams; Jane Russell plays the part of Bank Teller Mildred Goodhue, his beautiful but somewhat naive girlfriend, who wants to marry this man, but makes the mistake of being persuaded that money isn't..."only money".A great black and white print of a minor classic. Even has two excellent songs (the duet from adjacent apartments by Frank and Jane is a real time-capsule entry, something obviously missed by documentary makers).

Groucho Marx meets Frank Sinatra
There is so much to like in this light musical comedy. Groucho Marx with his sarcastic remarks, a young skinny Frank Sinatra, Jane Russell as a decidedly unglamorous clerk, a convoluted plot, and for lovers of antique cars, some gorgeous convertibles.

A fairly good flick
I didn,t order this movie. My wife did because she knew Jayne Russell. But I found a pretty good vehicle for Groucho Marx fans for which I am. All the great one liners and fast wit I,ve grown up with. OH YEAH, Sinatra was ok. And get this, Russell played against type.She was rather dull. Overall it wasn,t bad.

SAY THE MAGIC WORD
Being a huge fan of the MARX BROTHERS i had to get this just to see what Groucho would get up to and he certainly shines as OLD BLUE EYES pal. I was pleasantly suprised at how much i enjoyed this movie. The 3 main characters realy do meld well together,Grocho,Frank Sinatra,and Jane Russell.

This is my favorite Groucho Marx solo effort bu far & the teaming up with Sinatra & Russell just makes it special. A great find for me at a very low price. Great seller & a great deal All The W. (forgive the pun)

Sinatra and Groucho Marx Sing!?!
Who knew? Great to see two stars singing together especially if one is not known for it. Groucho and Sinatra sing and if you are lucky you might find the clip on you tube but its unlikey your local library will carry this gem and its not on dvd!
