The Moviegoer

At the Met

Though they never get to Singapore in this picture, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope buffoon their way through the high societies of San Francisco and the Hebrides. Their vaudeville antics and their casual repartee save the movie from the hopeless boredom of the others in the current Dorothy Lamour sarong series.

That famed sarong happens not to appear here, but Lamour's glamour neither gains nor loses. Nothing else is missing. The "South Sea" accent remembered about half the time, the scene with the villainous dancing partner and his bull-whip, the application to the great yellow moon sung heath the weeping willow tree--all are in the familiar pattern. The artificial eyelashes flutter and Miss Lamour reestablishes her position as a close second to the Lampoon's Sheridan in Hollywood's March of Crime.
