The film's title comes from a Red Skelton catchphrase, the storyline comes from Buster Keaton's Spite Marriage and the fun comes from everywhere in this pratfalling usicomedy directed by Vincente Minnelli. Eleanor Powell dances. Lena Horne sings. Jimmy Dorsey swings. Hazel Scott sears the ivories. And Red (as Joe) doods the rest with routines that include his hilarious attempt to put his blotto honeymoon bride to bed and, in a nod to the era, with heroics that pit him against Nazi saboteurs. They're gonna get a whippin'! (official distributor synopsis)
