The story is about a couple of guys, one a big shipping fam- ily’s scion who would rather nibble the lotus blossom than sit behind a desk, the other a happy-go-lucky chap who has no desk to tie him down. Crosby, the scion, is a fugitive from a family- sponsored marriage (to Judith Barrett) and from the law besides after he and Hope become involved in a couple of brawls. They bound for Singapore but arrive practicaly broke on an island where they reiterate their joint determination to with women. That's just before Lamour, the have nothing to do dancing girl, hoves into view At this point the plot settles down into a mess of complications—Lamour’s partner, Quinn, and Crosby's ex-fiancee, Barrett, contributing a share. g The whole blending of comedy and music reaciies a eapital clim in a pative wedding festival, more fun than anything that has gone before. The music throughout is pleasant: a no;v- €lty number called “Captain Custard.” a sentimental ballad about the moon and a weeping willow tree suu ous Lamour, the hit-potentiality the “Sweet Potato Piper by a meltingly Lamour- called “Too Romantic,” and With top-notch comic dialogue, Hope and Crosby play to- gether nice and both turn in excellent performances, aided by the occasior stooging of the weirly funny Colonna. The two stars did a bit of ad-libbing on ts, which may account for the spontaneity often noticea vir sallies. There’s a story that Hope, spying one of the creen writers on the sidelines, greeted him with, “If you of your own lines, yell Bingo!
