SO much that is wonderful in this classic, I cant imagine why it is not more famous it is just incredible. Olsen & Johnson were new to me when I was fortunate to stumble across this gem years ago, I loved them right off and they deserve to be better known they were easily as good and many times better than all the other double acts. Every performance is knocked out of the park, the music and of course THAT dance were equally as wonderful

I consider this film to be the "Airplane" of its generation. By that I mean its Mad Magazine approach to humor. The idea is to do anything for a laugh, even if it breaks the fourth wall and interrupts the storyline. "Mrs. Jones" and "Oscar!" are just two of the hundreds of examples. This is the opposite of organic comedy. It's chaos and hilarious It was an attempt to capture some of the mayhem of the stage show, "Hellzapoppin'" which toured across the country. My father saw it in a theater. It had the same elements as the show put on in the movie, where Chic and Ole try to sabotage the production. Things happened all over the theater in the stage show version. However, the film went way beyond those gags and was ahead of its time using cinematic techniques to make comedy. The boys walk through various movie sets, their costumes changing as they go. They watch a large photo that becomes a movie that explains the film's plot thus far. The ice block melts to a cube. Catching arrows from the air. Suddenly, the two appear in a western film, thanks to problems with the projectionist. The film framing problem, where their image is above and below the line. Freeze framing in the "Watch the Birdie" song. Hugh Herbert's costume changing as he goes back and forth behind a tree. A magic trick gone awry as half of the boys' bodies disappear. I'm sure there are more cinematic tricks. I can't imagine what the impact of this film would have been when in it was released in the 1940s. Movies were just not that irreverent about the making of movies nor did they make fun of the time-honored love-story movie plots. I saw it as a kid in the 1950s on TV, and it had a huge effect on my ideas about comedy. Along with Mad Magazine and Stan Freberg, irreverent humor became my guiding light.

An unparalleled absurdist, fourth-wall breaking comedy with zainy gags galore, great special effects considering it was 1941 and this show-stopping, breathtaking, arguably most iconic Lindy hop choreography in history.

Wonderfully frantic pacing. Kind of like Spike Jones meets Monty Python meets Warner Brothers cartoons meets the Marx Brothers. (It could have been titled "A Night At the Ballet".) Do ya think that maybe the makers of the "Naked Gun" movies were influenced by this? Especially the third one that made fun of the Oscars. Likely an influence on other comedians for decades after it came out. People loved these goofy films to take their minds off the Depression, WWII, and the pretty hard lives most people lived. A few too many songs early-on, though. But at least most of them were mercifully short. The opening title song is a rather obvious parody of the famed "Hollywood" song that appeared in so many other places. “Watch the Birdy" is the breakout song, until the main show, but the best music, as usual, was by the black guys, which is no wonder; They invented all the best new musical genres of the 20th century, and their choreography was usually better than anything whites could come up with, too. I loved that giant set they built, so typical of big musicals fo that era. Although Martha Rae had this persona that she’s bad looking, big mouth and all, etc., she actually looked pretty good those days. And she could sing also. Loved the Frankenstein cameo. And the "Rosebud" reference. The "woo-woo" guy who kept showing up was "Chic" Johnson, half of a vaudeville act, with Ole Olsen (also un this film) as the other half. Johnson achieved semi-fame from his unique laugh, which was sometimes parodied in various Warner Brothers cartoons and other places. I've been trying to find out for decades who did the "Popeye"-like voice near the beginning of the film? He also was used in some Warners cartoons doing a big “B.O.” sound which was a parody of a body-odor commercial that often was heard on radio. I've been trying to find out for decades who did the "Popeye"-like voice near the beginning of the film? (It starts at 2:29.) He also was used in some Warners cartoons doing a big “B.O.” sound which was a parody of a body-odor commercial that often was heard on radio. I don't think it was the two guys who did Popeye’s voice for the Fleischer cartoons (William Costello and Jack Mercer) or any later versions of Popeye’s voice. Has anybody got any guesses as to how I could find out who did this unique voice, or knows who did that "Popeye"-like voice near the beginning of the film?

The staircase collapses and turns into a slide, conveying the dancers straight to hell, where they are tortured by demons.

People on the thread have been asking why this picture isn't available today. It's because theatrical producer Alexander Cohen bought the rights "from the Olsen & Johnson estate" in 1966, intending to mount a Broadway revival. Universal then withdrew the film version from TV and rental markets. Producer Cohen did produce a TV revival in 1972 (with Jack Cassidy, Ronnie Schell, and Lynn Redgrave) and hired Jerry Lewis and Redgrave in 1976 for a Broadway run. The show played in three out-of-town tryouts but never made it to Broadway, thanks largely to Lewis causing problems backstage. Cohen closed the show abruptly, three weeks before the opening night was to be televised on network television. The show and the movie haven't been revived since, but Universal did issue a European DVD of the film in 2007.

These guys look like couple of goodfellas back in the neighborhood. Apparently they're Scandinavians but they look Sicilian,
