Known for his amazing, giant, synchronized dance numbers, busby berkeley only directed 31 films. In this one, jonathan is a writer trying to sell his writing, but he's not getting any nibbles. At the same time, a local magazine publisher has neither money nor stories to put in his next issue. So they try to swindle jonathan by using his material, but giving the credit to the drunk who the readers have been reading all along. Kind of a silly plot, but we were way into the film code by this time, so silly became the norm. This has some really clever banter between the family members. And comedy greats charles butterworth, don meek, and reginald owen are in here to keep it lively and fun. It's good, as long as you go along with it all. Can jonathan dig himself out of this trap he has fallen into? This was released in february of 1941, while war was brewing in europe. Prior to us being yanked into world war two at pearl harbor. Stars john shelton virginia grey. Based on the play by john holm. Apparently, it's also known as "fools rush in" and "four cents a word".
