Title: Thanks for LUCKY STARS
Review: The most enjoyable of all the World War II revue movies in which the studios presented their roster of stars to entertain those on the homefront and overseas. This one works best because it has great songs by Frank Loesser, most of which are sung by actors not known for their musical skills, and yet doing a terrific job of presenting them all the same. Best among them are "Ridin' for a Fall" by Dennis Morgan and Joan Leslie, "Love isn't Born, It's Made" by Ann Sheridan, "Ice Cold Katie" by Hattie McDaniel, "Goin' North" by Alan Hale and Jack Carson, and Bette Davis' inimitable rendition of "They're Either Too Young or Too Old" (sung with cigarette, of course). And Eddie Cantor has a wonderful time mocking himself, telling bad jokes to his flunkies, whom he expects to laugh on cue, just as a lot of insecure comedian probably do in real life. ("Tired of your jobs, boys?")Recommended!
