    Where to Watch

A bandleader (Kay Kyser) teams with an agent to track spies. Ellen Drew, Robert Armstrong. Aunt Jessie: Helen Westley. Flower Pot Cop: William Demarest. Cora: Una O'Connor. Slow-paced melange. Tay Garnett directed.

Famed bandleader Kyser turns spy in this nonsense. A spy ring hangs out in his club, and the Army chooses him to be the man to infiltrate. Wyman's a love interest, and at least you get to hear Kyser's band play "Just Plain Lonesome" and "I've Got the Moon in My Pocket" (Johnny Burke, Jimmy Van Heusen). The direction has no feel for comedy, nor does the excruciatingly unfunny Kyser. Produced by the great silent clown Lloyd, his last such effort for RKO.
