Based on the hit Broadway play, this wacky, sight-gag filled romp stars Olsen and Johnson as a pair of actors whose attempt to stage a musical at a swanky estate is hampered when the show's producer begins to woo one of the venue's upscale residents, the female lead is mistaken for a wealthy femme fatale, and the whole production arouses the suspicion of a bumbling private eye.

This is a must-see musical. And if you see it, it's quite possible that you'll say how terrible it actually is. And it is. This is not a musical for everyone. It has a plot, but it's almost irrelevant. It's incredibly playful, it's crazy, it's wild, but that playfulness is just beautiful about it, and it got me.
