Playing off the contrived feud between Jack Benny and Fred Allen, the two funnymen star as themselves in this meta-comedy. When Jack falls for Fred's niece, Mary (Mary Martin), all hell breaks loose as the two men grapple for the upper hand. Mary tries to mend the rift between the men, contriving wild scenarios of life-saving and selflessness, but the periods of agreement are fleeting, as the rivals cannot seem to get along. A series of mad mishaps and confusion follows.

I own a copy on DVD and it's a real fun movie. Two watch the two best comedians of the radio era go at it is a treat.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Mary Martin sings "My Heart Belongs to Daddy," which is the highlight of this forced Paramount musical comedy which plays up the "feud" between radio stars Jack Benny and Fred Allen.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
