Panama Hattie (1942)
6/10
like the performers
14 November 2023
Hattie Maloney (Ann Sothern) runs a busy nightclub in Panama where all kinds of characters gather. Red (Red Skelton), Rags (Rags Ragland), and Rowdy (Ben Blue) are three eager American sailors in the audience.

This is adapted from a Cole Porter Broadway musical. The film kept about half of the Cole Porter songs and replaced the rest with new songs. The musical performers include Lena Horne and the Berry Brothers. The story is not worth much and I'm not that taken with it. It's more about the singing and dancing while Red and the boys try to be funny. I like these performers. This is mostly fine.
