Note that this movie paired the greatest male and female TV slapstick comedians, Red Skelton and Lucille Ball! Note that there is a sequence in this movie with the "I Love a Vargas Girl" musical number with Red Skelton. MGM had famed pin-up artist Alberto Vargas pick out twelve beautiful models to each be a "month" in the above number, and Clarence Sinclair Bull photographed them against calendar backgrounds for each month. One of those twelve models was Hazel Brooks, who went on to a successful film career, but not as much for the other eleven! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good.
