Double Dynamite
Dir: Irving Cummings
1951
****
Double Dynamite is still pretty sharp in its old age with quite the clever and witty script. It stars Jane Russell, Groucho Marx and Frank Sinatra and is every bit as great as that sounds. It is fair to say though that Groucho steals the show. The singing is distracting and unnecessary but is of its time and actually quite charming. It's a great old film, I'm surprised it didn't do better and is now almost forgotten.
