Gibson Girl

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of those movies that need to be watched in the context of the time they were made. I never actually saw it - nor did I know about the animated sequence featuring Bugs Bunny - until, on vacation in the USA in September, 2018, more or less seventy years after it rolled off the production line, I stumbled on it in a used-CD store. I found it a pleasant combination of 'real' songs - Harry Warren signed on to do the new score and so they threw in several of his back catalogue. You can't go wrong with Eve Arden in support and throw in S.Z. Zackall doing his schtick and it's all downhill and painless. I can't recall Jack Carson ever getting the girl previously so that's a novelty and how many chances do you get to see Lee Bowman - about as many as to see Turhan Bey. Harmless entertainment.
