Note that the movie begins in a conventional way with a trumpet player falling asleep and the entire movie is a dream, and at the end of the movie, he wakes up. Apparently, that opening and closing were added at the last minute, because the movie was too weird for preview audiences! Also note that Jack Benny spent the entire rest of his career joking about how awful this movie was, but actually, it is quite entertaining! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
