during the opening night of the vanties a woman be find dead on the catwalk above the stage . a the show continue the police attempt to piece together who kill who and why before the final curtain . i have always hear that this be a great classic comedy mystery so i be excite to find myself a copy . unfortunately no one tell me about the musical number which go on and on and on . while the number certainly be the type that hollywood do in their glory day and they become intrusive because they pretty much stop the movie dead despite attempt to weave action around them . this wouldn not be so bad if the music be half way decent and but it not . there be only one good song . worse it a if the studio know they have one song and cocktail for two and and be force to endure four version of it represent a duet and a big production number and a the vanity finale and in the background a incidental music . i do not think spike jones and his city slicker ever play it that much . the rest of the movie be pretty good with victor mclaglen spar nicely with jack oakie . charles middleton be very funny be his scene a an actor in love with the wardrobe mistress . by no mean essential i can recommend this if you think you can get through the musical number and or be willing to scan through them . it a fun movie of the sort they do not make any more .
