Private buckaroo is not a western like the title suggests,its a wartime comedy musical made during world war two.in 1942.it features the singing sensations of the 40's;the Andrew sisters.and boasts a very good cast,Dick Foran(the mummy's hand,atomic submarine)Shemp Howard (of the three stooges)Harry James(big band leader)Joe E Lewis.and Huntz Hall(Bowery boys)and Donald O'Conner.i was confused by the title,i thought it was either a western.but i was wrong,its a very good movie from the otherwise monster producing universal.i enjoyed private buckaroo too bad its a really short movie at a little more than an hour.i believe this was the second movie on a double bill,but i may be wrong.thought the movie is way before my time,i have heard the Andrew sisters music before.the comedy is very vaudeville and the scenes with harry James trying to blow a bugle after hes drafted are hilarious. private buckaroo is played by;Dick Foran who had just finished the mummy's tomb at the same studio.he also has his flatfeet fixed so he can join the army.shemp Howard supplies the goof ball antics as a bumbling Sergeant.i enjoyed private buckaroo,I'm giving it the maximum 10 out of ten,call me crazy but i liked it.
