Hellzapoppin' |
| " Hold your hats ... the roof is 'bout to tumble in " |
Synopsis: Typical Olsen and Johnson's 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.
