None of the "comedy" elements work in this movie. Gorcey is annoying and Hall is even worse! It's astounding what passed for entertainment in the 40s and 50s.
Obviously, the plot is a joke, as in every Bowery Boys movie. This wouldn't be a problem if they were amusing in any way. Malapropisms and mugging for the camera is not automatically funny, and it's actually kind of sad here.
Eric Blore, as the genie, is head and shoulders above the rest of the cast, but I couldn't get past his stereotypical British teeth.
Terrible movie!
