George Raft
I know George Raft makes a cameo appearance in this movie, but does anyone know how much screen time he gets? How many times do we get to see him in this movie?

shareNot much if I remember correctly. One or two lines.
shareHe appears once but gets to speak plenty of lines and he even dances a Tango with Jerry! Jerry does not believe he's George Raft and he tries to convince him otherwise. Funny moment.
sharei still don't know how he ended up in the boarding house. (admittedly, i wasn't paying all that much attention to the film and i may have been seeing a severely edited print.) did george raft (playing himself) just drop by the mansion to visit with helen traubel?

I don't remember that now, it's been almost four years since I watched this film...sorry
shareI remembered it more as the boarding house was for upward, professional and beautiful women, and of course being so they had boyfriends, who were allowed to come to the house and collect their girlfriends for dates. But I could never imagine they would be allowed to go much past the entry hall; Miss Helen Wellenmellon would have forbade them that.
shareSpeaking of Raft, I notice a bold inaccuracy in the trivia section of this movie. It discusses Lewis laughing in the broken hat scene with Raft. In fact, the broken hat scene is with Buddy Lester, not Raft. Raft is in the movie once, in the scene when he tangos with Lewis.
sharetry watching the movie (you wont sound like such an idiot next time)

I watched the movie last night. Raft just happens to be sitting on the couch in the living room, casually browsing through a magazine, when Herbert (who is dusting?) notices him and starts flipping out.
