Big Broadcast of 1938?
This movie reminded me a lot of "The Big Broadcast of 1938" with Bob Hope, W C Fields, Martha Raye, and Dorothy Lamour. It also is a hodge-podge of disconnected comedy and music. There's opera with Kirsten Flagsted, Shep Fields music with a cartoon sequence, Martha Raye in some madcap numbers, and a classy finale with a revolving staircase like the finale of "The Great Ziegfield" 2 years earlier. I think Big Broadcast is a better film than "Artists and Models" but cut from the same cloth.
I think Mitch Leisen made Big Broadcast the better film. Artists and models doesn't seem like Raoul Walsh's cup of tea.
