Review of Jitterbugs

Jitterbugs (1943)
8/10
Stan & Ollie Always Entertaining
24 April 2022
Jitterbugs is good entertainment for a rainy afternoon,but far from an example of their best work. Both, although past their prime, are delightful playing the various characters moves into the plot. Stan in drag is fun, but not up to his Hal Roach moments in faux-fem roles.

Ollie demonstrates his comic genius and graceful dance moves too.

I love the two man band sequence and as a southern gentleman he is a delight.

Bob Bailey in his screen debut is fine, but his real skill was in radio as Johnny Dollar.

Vivian Blaine sings a few mediocre tunes that should have been left on the cutting room floor. With the wealth of music available in the Fox library they should have been much better.

All I all, it is fun and worth the 1 and 1/4 hours.
