| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzWithout the Marx Brothers, the music improves but the comedy proves witless. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...empty-headed, to be sure, but it's also breezy, lightweight, antic fun |
| User ReviewNate TWhile this remake of Room Service (1938) doesn't have the Marx Brothers, it does have Frank Sinatra, Adolphe Menjou, Gloria De Haven and Eugene Pallette and a plethora of humor. Some may have a hard time swallowing Frank Sinatra as a wide-eyed innocent. |
| User ReviewJames HMinor but entertaining musical, nothing about the films stands out, but Frank Sinatra does quite well and it has a good supporting cast. Some good, but not very memorable songs and musical numbers. |
