Dale F Nov 13 Corny but fun! An early Kathryn Grayson. See more Steve D 06/26/2023 middle of the pack but fun. See more 07/06/2017 Corny but likable Abbott and Costello comedy about the duo working at a dude ranch and discovering a Nazi plot (this was filmed during WWII after all). Most of the the comedy is their usual Who's-On-First-like word play and like a lot of Marx Brothers and other comedy pictures of the time, this one features several musical numbers. You also have Tom Conway and Kathryn Grayson, so there's a solid supporting cast, for this otherwise forgettable but entertaining enough of Abbott and Costello picture. See more 05/23/2015 Abbott & Costello take over the Wheeler & Woolsey roles in their first MGM film; songs are provided by Kathryn Grayson and John Carroll. See more 12/28/2012 in name only remake of an RKO 1929 musical See more 01/01/2012 The problem with this is the musical interludes. Not needed frankly. But Abbott and Costello are on top top form in this early entry. See more Read all reviews
