This 1940's romp through the delights of movie star worship in the era when "stars were stars" is simply fantastic! It is effervescent and sweet, Virginia Weidler and that petite dynamo, Jean Porter, are engaging as the best friends who set out to "save" Edward Arnold from himself after the misconceived meddling of Agnes Moorehead sets their imaginations reeling. Cameos by major luminaries of the day, an hilarious send-up of a Sandow-like character by John Carroll, and a double-take worthy of Jack Benny himself by the dashing William Powell, make this picture a favorite of mine. Did Edward Arnold ever give a bad performance??!! Pure gold.
