Betty Kean Steals The Show, Despite Competition
When Paul Harvey and Jed Prouty formed their oil partnership, one of the clauses stated that when Prouty’s daughter (he didn’t have one at the time) married Harvey’s son in Havana within a month of her 21st birthday, they would get one third of the business. Now she has turned 21, so it’s off to Havana, looking for the escape clause that if one refuses, the other gets the oil wells. Dennis O’Keefe plans on going through with the marriage at his father’s instance, unless he can get this girl he has never met to dislike him. Jane Frazee’s plan is more elaborate. She hires acrobatic dancer Betty Kean to masquerade as her, while Frazee plays her secretary. Miss Kean’s limberness will fascinate O’Keefe, he’ll marry her and lose the oil wells.

Except when they are taking the train to Havana — yes, they’re coming from New York. Don’t expect me to understand it — O’Keefe and Frazee meet under their fake names and fall in love.

It’s a very pleasant romantic comedy, in no small part because whenever director John Auer feels a need to distract you, there’s a good comic dancing interlude. Miss Kean is an excellent eccentric dancer. She does a few moves on her own, but in one she’s paired with an excellent Black tap trio called ‘The Three Chocolateers’, and in another with Eddie Foy Jr., who’s funny as a busted British count.

Two fakers can’t fake love.
Republic films for the most part got a bum steer when their B unit was sold off to television and chopped by a reel for broadcast. That means today that there are many incomplete versions of these films, many of which I caught on cable T.V. back in the early 1990’s, either on a syndicated Chicago station (WGN) or Anaheim’s channel 56 (KDOC) which when I look at now are missing key plot elements and several actors whom I wanted to see completely missing. Others showed up on Alpha video and are also greatly cut.

In the case of this comedy with songs which I was lucky enough to have somehow saved in storage and got back, it is a light piece of fluff with Dennis O’Keefe and Jane Frazee as heirs who pretend to be “commoners” only to find out that their fathers (Paul Harvey and Jed Prouty) were scheming to get them together. While several key supporting players didn’t make the much edited T.V. print (most jarring for me Franklin Pangborn), there were impressive comic performances by stage veterans Betty Kean and Eddie Foy Jr. The missing 20 minutes will probably never show up (considering how inconsequential it seems today), but what I did get to see was moderately enjoyable.
