Best movie ever!
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
This is the type of film where you pretty much just watch the actors and forget about the plot. It's an absolutely ridiculous screwball comedy about two young singers stowing away from Honolulu to San Francisco, posing as chambermaids and become involved in an apparent jewel robbery and blackmail scheme. June Lang and Lynn Bari are the two lovely young ladies who somehow end up involved in the issues of seasick millionaire Gene Lockhart and his former chambermaid wife Ruth Donnelly, obviously carrying on with both gigolo Erik Rhodes and swimming instructor Robert Allen. The mix-up of the real gems with fakes and the presence of drunk Jack Norton, strongman Constantine Romanoff and funny sidekick Glenn Vernon adds to the confusion. It's a minor entry among the many screwball comedies of the 1930's and 40's where the script literally went out the portal window and only the cast was able to get the remainder of the film safely to dry land.
