Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film's producer, Martin A. Gosch, was not an MGM in-house producer, as most producers were on the studio's films. He was the producer for Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's radio show, and they insisted that he produce this film rather than someone they believed would be looking out for MGM's interests rather than theirs.
- GoofsWhen Costello reveals he has a fake beard on, he runs out of the restaurant and flips over a chair. the bottom of the chair says "3A", referring to the prop number.

Featured review
A & C's farewell to MGM
Being yet still in the womb and pondering my next move when this was released in the UK, it was to be several years before I actually caught up with it - during an Abbott & Costello festival at my hometown theater.
One's opinion these days depends whether you "recall it" as life WAS in the mid fifties or as an entity in its own right in 2003. Fact is, it was one funny movie and as well as being the last they actually made for MGM and remembering, that the war was not officially over during early filming, it actually had a sizeable budget allocated to it.
Way better than LOST IN A HAREM, Lou was a hoot here as a Hollywood agent (with Bud) trying to get their client the lead role in a musical. Arguably the best routine on offer was that wherein Lou remains awake listening to a record designed to make him sleep.
One of their more enduring films.
