- Summary:
- "Musical comedy about a young man, Danny, who opens a nightclub, much to the chagrin of his rich father. Hoping to force his son into taking up the family business, the father arranges for the club to be shut down, but can't break the news to the son himself, so he pays a struggling singer $50 to go to the club and clue him in. However, she forgets all about this once Danny finds out she's a singer and gives her a regular gig at his club. Soon the two fall in love and have to figure out a way to keep the rich father happy. The Three Stooges appear as waiters and light a fire under the proceedings when things threaten to slow down"--Http://www.rottentomatoes.com.
- Putting the swing in Swing Parade of 1946 are the hep and jive of Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five and the mellow persuasions of Will Osborne and His Orchestra. Connee Boswell, whose platters included several chart-topping duets with Bing Crosby, offers a romantic forecast of Stormy Weather. For waitering, plumbing, protecting, or just plain horsing around at the ritzy watering hole where all the musicality takes place, The Three Stooges are at your service.
