Footlight Fever
Some cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): Kitty O'Neil (Amazon), Gene Collins (Dead end kid) and Alee Luke (Waiter). In addition Carol Hughes was in a Hollywood Reporter production chart, but she did not appear in the film either.,Follows Curtain Call (1940),The Oceana Roll

In the score when Crandall and Avery call on Hattie dressed as sailors,This sequel to "Curtain Call" is a much broader comedy with Mowbray and MacBride camping it up something shocking in a silly story about impoverished theatrical producers trying to raise money for a new Broadway play from a Miss Havisham-like recluse (Risdon). The pair aren't great comic actors and it's easy to see why the partnership didn't survive this film. But Mowbray gets to perform a very long variation on the old gag in which a hammy stage actor refuses to lie down when shot. It may once have raised a laugh or two. Otherwise the direction is terribly slow for this kind of lowbrow farce. The supporting cast are nobodies.,
