Four Jacks and a Jill
The first starring film role of June Havoc, sister of Gypsy Rose Lee.,At the diner where Nifty does his solo dance, there is a hot dog sign at the beginning of the scene with a word misspelled: 'Fasinating.',Karanina 'Nina' Novak: Ohh, Nifty, you smell *so* good.,Although they have major roles, two of the four "Jacks," William Blees and Jack Briggs, do not merit onscreen credit. Even by the limited standards of the day, this is pretty awful.,Featured in Make Mine Laughs (1949),I'm in Good Shape

Lyrics by Mort Greene
Sung and Danced by Ray Bolger (uncredited),Bandleader Nifty Sullivan (Ray Bolger) saves Katarina "Nina" Novak (Anne Shirley) from getting splashed by a car. His band is Four Jacks and a Queen, but their singing queen Opal quits. Nina claims to be a singer. They need to run a convoluted scam to get a nightclub gig and cabbie Steve Sarto (Desi Arnaz) has to pretend to be royalty.

This is a convoluted screwball comedy. It's a lot of wacky characters and situations. There are fun bits and pieces. It doesn't really add up to anything terribly good. Bolger is a great comedic sidekick but I'm not sure about him as the dashing romantic lead. As often is the case, these song and dance guys do get into some black-face work. I tend to ignore that. This should spend more time building the romantic chemistry.,
