Synopsis: No plot, Crazy as hell
and anything goes at over 100 miles an hour with a cast of hundreds!.
Based on the hit Broadway play Hellzapoppin' which ran from 1938-1941.
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. The movie version fails to completely
capture the spirit of the original play.
Academy Award® Nominee: Best Song: "Pig Foot Pete."

Lindy Hoppers
appear in their greatest film dance routine which took them all
around the world.

Martha
Raye. |
