The only thing that keeps this movie from receiving the worst possible rating is that the fine cast all give first-rate performances. First-rate performances of an amazingly bad script, unfortunately.
How could Jack Warner have thought this would work? It's confusing, uninteresting, and no, not funny. Seeing the stars of The Sea Hawk from just the year before - Errol Flynn, Brenda Marshall, Alan Hale - try to make this come alive is almost painful.
And who thought of trying to pass Lee Patrick, a fine comedian, off as a burlesque queen???? Her number is downright embarrassing, and it's not really her fault. She was completely wrong for the part.
Skip this movie. Yes, Flynn is his usual charming himself, but that certainly can't save this mistake.
